Not strongest opening, but because it's an asymmetric opening system, which introduces imbalance into the position, thus it tends to have less drawish tendencies than a symmetric opening system. This creates the psychological effect of slightly turning the knob of "Black is playing for equality", to "Black is playing for counter-play".
