I've recently been thinking about the superiority Zarbon and Dodoria held over Vegeta for all those yrs prior to the Saiyan saga. Freeza's men always appeared to go by the numbers no matter what.
Vegeta even said they were all obsessed with power above all else, which is why the idea of learning how to sense would be lost on them:
With how surprised they were upon reading Vegeta's new power level, you would've thought their power advantage over him might be permanent in their minds:
We know Dodoria and Zarbon are in the 21-23k range (22k and 23k respectively if you go by the Daiz's levels), so it doesn't seem so far-fetched that Vegeta would eventually get to that range of power...if not surpass it with time.
It's easy to understand why someone like Freeza would be comfortable giving the fact that he's dimensions above Vegeta, but Dodoria and Zarbon are entirely different.
Vegeta sorta perpetuates this line of thinking based on some of the things he states, admittedly:
Despite seeing Vegeta's newfound power, Zarbon couldn't even believe he was able to take out Dodoria. After being a level above Vegeta for so long, the idea of him becoming a threat to them probably seemed impossible.
My guess is Vegeta has had gradual increases throughout his life, but never had a jump in power remotely close to what he received after the battle on Earth. That would explain his mindset. Perhaps he never thought he'd get to a point where he could manhandle Dodoria and Zarbon the way he did, though it's possible that he never focused on them in the same way that he focused on overcoming Freeza.
Kiwi's assessment isn't so off because his scouter read Vegeta at a level inferior to 18k, so it makes sense. Now having said that, would he realistically expect Vegeta to always be at his level?
These are just random thoughts I had.
