Not sure if this is simple enough, but actually investment casting can produce parts that are stronger than forged. The reason is that if very precise and accurately controlled powdered metallurgy is used you end up with a finer grained structure than can be produced from billet. Also actions forged from billet originally started out as a casting.
It all comes down to the care and quality put into the part. You can have good castings and bad castings. You can start with a high quality billet and forge or machine a great part, or you can start with low grade crap billet and end up with the same in a finished part.
