Why is it not credible to balance with our bet flop/shoving turn range?

It's not like its difficult to bet flop, shove turn with KT+, overpairs here.
betting 40 is gross because its horrible bluff odds. You make a lot of money in reraised pots from betting small on the flop and taking it down a lot, relying on the strength of your range to force people to fold despite the odds. Betting 40 as a standard would dramatically curtail the profitability of your bluffing range, and thus curtail the profitability of your overall range, with the only benefit being that you might get more value from your big hands some % of the time (but note you often stack them with big hands no matter what sizing you choose).
