Well at this point you've demonstrated that it's not worth debating with you.

Ring games and tournaments are not based on the same principles.

Also, the point of pushing in is to induce folding. If people are not going to fold then it doesn't matter if you are the one who went all-in. You might as well be the one calling the all-in. Either way the best hand is going to win.

Since you don't have the best hand, 50% of the time you will be out of the tournament. 50% of the time you will double up. Good luck making a lot of final tables by strictly gambling. You do realize that .5 raised to the 8th power is 1/256 right? That's not good odds.
