Yep, i completely agree with You in general, I'm playing higher as well and I would never apply this strategy for tourneys I play.
Though, there's significant difference between >1$ tourneys and that nano donkaments. Even at 1$/45 man people are capable of folding pretty strong hands which decreases Your edge. At 0.25$ tho, there's no such thing as overplaying strong hands, leaking chips or making significant mistakes. Even if You lose some chips trying to hit set (then You're at least gonna double up Your stack, if not triple) You will still get back not only what You lost but also entire stack of Your opponent in TPTK kind of spot. People are that bad. They seem totally unaware, clueless.
