Yeah, in the example it's a 1-table SNG with blinds of 15/30 and average stack of 1000 with the action you described. I agree that the deeper the stacks, the more likely you should be to make the call, but your opponent should be aware of your loosened calls as well making it harder to extract a lot more chips unless they're pretty bad. And still, it seems like being able to calculate the implied odds depends a lot on knowing what percentage of the time you'll be ahead (preferably by a lot) on the flop which I've never seen addressed.
