Second thing you said about preparing to lose many buyins is again wrong,compare winrates and variance with deepstack and shortstack play:game is less swingy with later approach.
You two might be speaking different languages. Shortstacking has way higher variance PER BUYIN. How could it not? If you always get your little stack in 5 ways preflop with 25% equity, you're going to lose your next 5 stacks almost a quarter of the time.
I've done this. It sucks to blow thru $2000 in an afternoon of loose 5-5 PLO in $300 and $400 increments. But the variance IN DOLLARS is much lower. I could do a "proper" buyin of $1000 or $2000, get sucked out on, and be done after an hour.

Regarding AA67: It's relatively uncommon for it to be a huge underdog HU or 3h, hot and cold, on the flop. Facing a PSCRAI, so getting 2:1 with no more betting, AAxx will often want to call off. The problem is implied odds. If you don't know if your opponent has a set, two pair, or a wrap, you're going to throw away money playing that guessing game with AA unimproved.
So when the wrap knocks out the deeper stacked AA (winning a nice side pot) and misses, and the all in wins the pot with a hand that couldn't have beaten AA, then the AA's implied odds misery fuels the all in's rejoicing
