Perhaps what he was trying to say is that
from his perspective a probe bet signifies weakness which he can exploit whereas a pot sized bet on the flop regardless of what you have suggest you have strength.

Harrington stresses over and over again that to be a strong player you must vary the size of your bets, both probe bets and value bets, to prevent other players from getting a read on you based on bet size.

Greenstein may certainly be correct that weak players might often tip off their hand by the size of their probe bets, but I doubt his automatic response to a probe bet from somebody like Harrington would be to raise...

Also, Harrington himself says that his own response to somebody who places too many probe type bets is to raise. I think the line is something like "you talking to me, you talking to me...."
