The first part of what you say is true, the 2nd part is the part that can be frustrating i.e. in a spot where any competent short stacker would shove against a small 3bet of ours, so that when it gets back to us we can iso shove w/ all the dead money in (which is good for us and the short stacker obv), and they just flat for 1/2 their stack or something moronic. Such as 20 BB stack opens , gets 2 flats, we have KKxx or AAxx, or QJT9 and 3bet small, hoping shorty shoves, and short stack now flats. You would think this would never happen, but it happens allllll the time.
