tbh in that FT from what i saw he actually played really aggressive and it was surprising.

Good post but my response is: anyone who limps (especially in early position) with 10 or less big blinds is a poor poker player.

Good post. I had something very similar written up at one point but decided not to post it because, well...don't tap the glass.

But this entire concept is really Poker 101 these days, not considered an advanced idea whatsoever. Watch the higher-buy-in tourneys in their entirety (I've done many ghosting sessions and sometimes just watch a couple solid regs from start to finish) and you'll see that NONE of those players is trying for a min-cash (squeaking in the bubble, stalling, etc) and NONE allow themselves to drop below the unexploitable-shove point.

Great job of explaining it for simple minds, but alas, those are exactly the minds that will skim over it and not grasp the concept anyway.
