This is correct. While 40.5% equity would give you breakeven to make that raise, any raise made where you win less than a dollar for every dollar risked is a mistake.
So, yes, .405% equity is the minimum equity required for a shove to be EV neutral, but it is not sufficient equity to make a shove the optimal play.
