No player should ever have a huge edge by exploiting the format.
This is my favorite Alan argument, where he thinks that conjecture from someone who is something resembling well known makes something a fact, and parlays that into a wild statement of truth.
I repeat my previous statement-in online tournaments, tournaments with longer levels have wider variance in stack sizes compared to tournaments with shorter levels. When adjusted for percent of players remaining, the variance is still larger with longer levels than shorter levels, but by a smaller amount. When you can demonstrate that the previous fact is not true for live tournaments, your argument will have information backing it up. Until that point, your argument is generally heresy.
