Fine, I can live with that

I think what will happen often is that when you will call down with 33 or pair of A, you will at best be break even ( and probably a bit -ev ) when you call the river bet and if you win the pot, it's because you are OOP u will have miss value when the hand get check on the river behind.
And this is not taking account all those time you won't even get to the river when you get bluff out (or you will be stuck to give a ton of free card that could end up drawing out on you) when you will be force to fold the best hand on bad board .
Leaving on top of that all the money pf you will lose in investment because you will have a worst hand range .
Anyway, for those hands to be playable (imo) in HJ , the table need being really soft without certain condition like the one I just describe.
Of course if no one is ready to challenge your 30% + open range by simply calling , than go for it .
But those condition are more on the side of great condition than soft condition .
Guess it is just semantic .
