Especially since most players aren't paying attention, and for those who are, they are still seeing your cards so infrequently that the sample they are getting is small.
You make it sound like players come to a reasonable decision, but then pause and say "oh snap, I gotta make some wacky sub-optimal play for the sake of my misguided understanding of balance."
