couldnt it be argued that if you called in every close situation such as this, it would reduce variance?

wouldn't folding create less variance? variance is deviance from the mean, so folding for 0 every time would cause less of a deviation than calling and winning either -1 or 20. so technically if it's exactly break-even between calling and folding, it seems like folding would reduce the variance.
