What we do in EV neutral situations has a direct bearing on whether or not actions on the later streets are positive.

It still doesn't affect the EV neutrality of the situation, though. If you put in a lot of bets in an EV neutral situation (a TRUE EV neutral situation.. I'm ignoring the effect of representing more strength which may make your opponent make a fold where he should continue), you're not going to make more money in the long run because you've bloated the pot and can afford to chase.

I think my above quote poorly explained what I was trying to say. There are correct folds somewhere in there. If the pot is too big, we can't make those correct folds anymore, but they still exist. So, a certain %age of the "correct" call is -EV because of the excessive action on earlier streets. My statement should have read:

"What we do in EV neutral situations has a direct bearing on whether or not actions on the later streets appear positive when they shouldn't be."

I'm pretty sure we're agreeing.
