Default Re: $11 - 88 on button, makes me wonder about betting impetus

Also the blinds are always worth stealing. If you begin a tournament with 45 extra chips, your ROI when compared to starting with just 1000 goes up signifigantly. If you look at it this way you will see that stealing the blinds does matter.

Sure, but it's not like the blinds fold every time when you raise your 88 on the button in level 2. And while auto-betting the flop may be +EV on the flop, I'm not sure that the parlay of raising preflop & autobetting flop is +EV against loose low-stakes players who like to call lots preflop & on thef flop. But perhaps it is....I should, like, do the math.
