awesome post. i agree, it's counter intuitive, but it's a mistake not to open MORE hands and at least push if not call when the 3 bet maniac reraises...maybe folding sometimes so he doesn't adjust fast enough.

i can be totally missing your point, but my thinking for why 4bet-push > 4bet-$33 is that either way were committed pre flop, but it gives him the option of calling and pushing us out post flop..and i'd 4bet a range where that would be bad.
