First of all, there are more, weaker SSS-ghouls. So who knows how Shinohara deals with those?

Secondly, ratings aren't saying shit about ghoul's abilities. Example? Yeah sure why not:

Kaneki was ranked SS. Why? Not because he's a threat to the CCG or the public. Everyone in the CCG probably knows (even if they don't wanna accept it) that Kaneki wouldn't kill an investigator nor a civilian just like that. They were just scared because of his strenght, that's why he was ranked as SS. Only because of his raw strenght.

But the main reason why some ghouls have a high rank is that they're simply glutons, or direct enemies of the CCG. Like Tsukiyama, Rize or whoever. Thebest example right now is probably Ayato. Of course he is strong. But... SS? And from what we know, it was already hinted that he is (using your terms) a high-SS-ghoul. So it's likely that, if he keeps killing investigators like a mad little kid kills of a bunch of ants, he'll soon be rated as a SSS-ghoul. Ayato. SSS.

The anime (which is canon, except of the storyline) has shown that Ayato back then easily got defeated by Shinohara, even while Shinohara didn't use its full potential. Now after the timeskip, Ayato surely became stronger (mostly because he overcame his weaknesses), but CCG's tech became better too, and Shinohara (if he was still alive) would've become stronger too. So now he would still kick Ayato's ass without using the full power of Arata.

Furthermore: Eto isn't the only introduced SSS-ghoul. Yoshimura is one as well. And as we saw: Shinohara and Iwa were close to defeat him as a duo in the beginning of root a. Now if Shinohara was alone, I guess he wouldn't have been able to injure Yoshimura like that, but he would've been able to deffend himself and stand up against Yoshimura for sure, even if it was just for a short time. And that's all the article says...

"As long as you're using Arata, you're able to equally fight with SSS-rated ghouls". And that's totally true.
