we are talking about different things. Entirely different things, in fact.

But the OP is asking why does his "poor" content page earn more than his "quality" content page.

I'm trying to point the OP in the right direction as to:

1. Why his ads on the quality page are not relevant.

2. Why his poor page may do much better in comparison.

Sure, there are a lot of great "quality content" sites that keep their owners stuck in poverty.

Unfortunately, for many sites, I could not agree more.

If you find out that certain "lower quality" pages deliver more AdSense clicks and more revenue, you should stick to that format. It's about money.

And I would venture THAT is nearly the most impossible kind of pages/sites to construct! It would take a great deal of expertise and knowledge to get that fine balance between poor and quality pages and then, THEN Google come along with a new algo and blows it out of the water since the new algo decides that it is not relevant enough...

I have not seen the OP's site however I would have thought that more relevant targeting would not be that difficult, after all, Adsense does allow one to do this with the addition of some code and a five minute search through the Adsense help would resolve that.

I've never had to do it however anyone with that experience should jump in now and advise exactly how to do so:-)
