When your forced into an unwanted exchange, would you rather have 2 bishops or 2 knights ?
in closed postions knights are supperior as the can jump over the pieces in open postions bishops are better as they have greater range and in open postions can cut across the board
it completely depends on the position
The bishop pair (typically an open game) does give you the advantage...IF you know how to coordinate them properly.
