Spree, yours might be the worst post ever.

Agree. The point of the article isn't calling an all-in when you don't know what the person has...it's a hypothetical on whether it's worth it to risk all your chips when you have a small edge.
The argument has been debated endlessly on these forums as to whether you would risk your tourney life with a small edge if you think that by passing up on this small edge you might be able to gain more chips and avoid the risk of ruin when you have a bigger edge later in the tourney.
I for one am all for pushing any small edge I have in a tourney as I am working on being an accummulator as oppossed to a survivor.
In Erick Lindgren's new book he says he always pushes his small edges whenever he can. I think his results means 'nuff said.
