Here's the bulk of a reply someone made to someone asking if they should play limit or NL holdem.

This has been discussed here repeatedly.
The math has been done. A good player will have much lower variance and higher win rate playing NL holdem vs. Limit holdem. A bad player can hang on to his $ longer at limit. This is both mathematically true AND logical. It's not open to debate.

Is this really true?
Why or why not?
Can you try to explain this to me?
I've heard this debate at least 5 times, but they were all before I stumbled upon the poker information mecca of 2+2. I was wondering what math is behind this statement.
I apologize if it's been covered before, but I'd like a straight up answer to this age old question.
Respect,
Lando
