Hi Ben, nice essay. It looks like you use the delayed c-bet more effectively than I do. I kind of just took the concept that I thought was getting a lower number of responses (and that I could wrap my head around) and extrapolated why it would be valuable in 6maxNLHE. Your essay definitely has some advantages over mine, specifically the way that you broke it up. I think the key point I had over you was about using the delayed cbet on boards where your range is behind the preflop caller's. In the example you used for range balancing, I think it's much better to bet the flop with your whole range and balance that way.

I'm sure you felt it was a valuable exercise regardless of the outcome as I did. Look at it this way, you don't get to play in a game where you are most certainly -EV like I do.
