It is definitely part of those turbo satelites to stall. It's not about trusting your skill, 4k/8k blinsd for average stacks of 12k make it a luckfest anyway. There is no reason not to atleast use your timebank and keep the blinds off you for as long as possible. It's an accepted part of those tournaments, and by not doing it you lower your EV considerably. No reason to hurt your value because you want to show the table proper etiquette.

That said, i think this is the only situation when it's the right move. In non satellites playing for first is more benificial than stalling to break the bubble and it's not accepted like in those turbo's.
