The point I was trying to make is that the Pio pre-flop opening ranges you were using/looking at might not be optimal in the first place. (I have no way of proving that, nor do I have any strong reason to believe Snowie's are better).
As I understand it, Pio's post-flop calculations are based on what's optimal for the ranges you enter yourself. If you specify a 45% BTN opening range, it will naturally lead to an 'optimal' BB defence strategy that's wider than if you specify a 40% BTN range. Snowie thinks playing GTO means opening tighter than 45% on the button, and therefore it defends correspondingly tighter. To put it another way, if Snowie thought opening 45% was optimal, it would do that, and then it would defend wider in the BB too.
Presumably, Snowie's "tight" BB defence would still at least break even vs a 45% stealer, but against such a player, it/you could do even better by 'exploitatively' defending even wider (by using the defending ranges Pio suggests, for example).
