I've actually read a lot of Tom's replies to questions over the years. And really, most of his comments are him having fun with some of the fans who get really passionate about power levels and the classic "who'd beat who" kind of discussions.
I remember a couple of years ago after Siege when Sentry fans came out in droves all pissed off because of what happened and Tom more or less shrugged and said "deal with it". And while his official position as editor certainly gives his opinion more weight, it's still that at the end of the day: opinion. Certainly not admissible as any kind of proof, but rather just an insight as to how one person views a specific subject. And no, Tom's opinion doesn't equal Marvel's.
As far as this specific topic goes, I certainly think the Phoenix Force is more important to the universe than Odin is, but in terms of power and formidability, Odin's got crazy ass feats to compete with the Force. And given some of the scans and context revealed in this thread so far by some, based on what we've seen so far, I wouldn't cry foul if Odin could best the Force under his own power.
