It doesn't break it at all. Kaneki can't raise his RC Cell production to any arbitrary level; he cannibalized to strengthen his kakuhou so that it could contain more (mutated) RC Cells.

That's why I'm not sure what's hard to understand about this. When Kaneki goes into his kakuja mode, he's increasing the output of RC Cells from his kakuhou and raising the amount present in his body, that's what creates the change. As Haise, he's subconsciously limiting the amount of RC Cells in his body, which makes him weaker.

It's the same for the Quinx, remember? The kakuhou stores however many RC Cells it stores, but when they measure the amount of RC Cells present, they're not measuring the amount inside the kakuhou, they're measuring the amount present in the body after being released. That's why the Quinx have frames installed on their kakuhou, to limit the amount of RC Cells that are able to be released.

Haise's "frame" is psychological. He doesn't know how to control the release of his RC Cells the way Kaneki does, and he's scared to use that power. Kaneki doesn't have that limitation, so his kagune is much stronger, he heals much faster, etc.
