i stated the only exception to this is final table play... the situation you are presenting is exactly that, but more extreme, a sattelite.
by the way, OP's post was about general MTT's, not sattelites.
Disregarding cEV != $EV is a much better approach for beginners (and for experienced players), because they (cEV and $EV) are very close in the tournament,
untill you reach the final table.
the risk in giving any other advice, is that beginning players will be putting emphasis on false concepts like "tournament life" , and "waiting for a better spot" .
