Kallen "won" the battle against Suzaku in Lancelot Albion but her margin of victory was incredibly paper thin, and it cost her everything to do it. Guren was trashed, she was dead tired, and she collapsed from exhaustion. We call that a "Pyrrhic victory" because Suzaku, on the other hand, jumped out of Lancelot and continued on with the Zero Requiem Plan.
Look at it this way:
Small Picture: Kallen won the battle, and it cost her everything to do it. BUT she did beat Suzaku in a Knightmare Frame battle, but by a paper thin margin.
Big Picture: Kallen, despite winning the battle, couldn't go on (Guren was trashed & she was too tired from the battle) to stop Lelouch from using Damoncles and FLEIA. Black Knight's were defeated. The world was conquered by Lelouch.
Depends on the way you look at it, so make it clear which perspective your looking at it from. There are multiple ways to look at a situation, and you may be arguing with someone who looking at it a different way from you. If you just want to focus on the Knightmare Frame battle, fine. If you want to look at the bigger picture and how Kallen fits into all of it, make it clear.
