what I'm saying though is:

[preflop equity gained by 3-betting preflop] ~ [postflop EV you give up by 3-betting preflop (ie the cost of giving your opponents odds to draw to anything)]

Assuming that anyone understanding drawing odd, which they probably want...

no, that's not true at all. your opponents will probably call regardless of whether they're getting odds to. when you bloat the pot you're making their postflop looseness correct. by keeping it smaller, you're leading them to make mistakes, like drawing to a naked A. they don't need to have an understanding of odds for this.
