Where did the other two come from ? I didn't see them turn up.

And, was I then mistakenly of the opinion that in the rare event of a tie in "scratches" (no points) that Player A's scratch is worth less than Player B's scratch because they aren't equal due to handicap allowance differentials...???

In a Scratch games handicaps don't exist. Scratch is net.

So, it follows then that I am also mistaken in my notion that I should pick up immediately when I know I can't score a point if I want the honour because by carrying on and holing out my net 12 stroke scratch for the hole is better than my playing partners 7 stroke scratch where he picked up after hitting three balls OOB off the tee....???

No, if you pick up you haven't got a net score. If the other guy has any score he beats you.
Incidentally do you mean fellow competitor (stroke play) or partner (match play). Playing partner is not a defined term.
