No, I am talking about spots where EV of calling >0.
Quick example with Piosolver :
BB def (56% calling range) vs SB steal (40% OPR)
Flop comes 9h7d3c
SB cbets 66% of the pot
With Kd5d, Piosolver says :
-raise 11% of the time -> EV of +0.6
-call 51% ott -> EV of +2.4
-fold 38% ott -> EV of 0
Imo, the explaination is just that if BB calls 100% ott with Kd5d, he becomes exploitable, and SB can adjust his CB range and then calling 100% ott with Kd5d would become -EV.

I think you forget that SB is a thinking player who can adjust later.
We are trying to get an unexploitable range for every action. So folding a combo that might be a slightly +EV call is a short term loss, but a long term gain because you con't be exploited later.
