I had a similar reaction to this and some other hands in his book. I does seem that a push if you are going to call a raise any way makes more sense, at least against people who are not too analytical. However, it seems like many of his hands are to give examples of specific concepts, not always all aspects of a hand. If i remeber corectly this was in the pot odds section. I think his main point is even if you may have played other aspects of a hand questionably (like pre-flop) you need to look at the curent situation and odds, so just giving of an example of a situation where you may know u are behind but the pot odds justify a call
