I'm just saying your logic on this particular situation is flawed. Even if you call a 3 bet and make more money than the raise you abandon in the pot if you still lose money you have a better strategic option which is folding outright because 0 > a negative number.
However it's not that easy because there are other outcomes than you getting 3 bet so your overall EV may be positive from the times you open and steal the blinds, you open and only get called, etc. It's possible only in the situation where we get 3 bet we lose bb's but we're more than compensated when we reach those other strategic outcomes.
The only time it is ALWAYS advantageous to call when we have a negative expectation is when we are a blind which is a forced bet. In those situations we had to put in the money, but in all other positions we always have the option to fold and lose nothing.
