Yes, all correct. My point is this:

EV is per dollar

Most of the "pick a better spot" lines are to do with hands where a very large call is being contemplated. If you imagine EV to be +.01 *per *dollar and call off $5,000 based on that, you'd better be Very Sure it's not -.01

"Pick a better spot" means "there's a nonzero chance that you're wrong; why magnify the potential loss? Hang out a bit and forthwith, you'll be in a +1.0 EV spot for $50, which all other things being equal is .. well, equal. But it's a lot less stressful.
