Even if i grant you this , the situation you talk is rare while in cash game it can happen everyday...
And the "big" tournament you talk about are a very rare situation and those who can afford to play them, certainly some of them play very high stakes so i would be surprise it is a mistake worst than 99.9 % of their lives.
It is possible a "fish" got there and find himself in this situation but this exact situation might happen 1 in 100, imo statistically you cannot use such a rare occurrence to make an equivalent statement has the damage done in cash game due tilt is the same has for a tournament player in general...
Btw i am not defending MM ( i agree sometimes M.Mason lack diplomacy) but both authors have valid points and almost nothing can be more uncertain than psychology trying to prove something.
Yes , increasing the well being of someone might help to accept a situation better that can cause tilt ( good diet, sleep, good physical shape, confidence, etc.) but even better is to understand the situation to it's full extent to prevent tilt as well (like variance and other stuff).
Personally, i often find myself or others to be in a anger state because they lack the knowledge of their bad luck, accident,etc which if they had better knowledge of why they fell in that state , it would help accepting the unwanted situation easier and tone that their frustration, tilt or w.e bad feeling they suffers.
