Harrington mentions "the 10% rule" - when a shortstack pushes and it's 10% or less of your stack, you should call wih any two". Here you do the SAME THING but slightly in reverse - you bring action TO shorty in BB with just about any two. Also gives you some FE in the process, too.

I havent really read the HOH books, but is there any logic/reasoning behind this? It seems really ridiculously dumb.

Eh...close but wrong. p. 287 of HOHII. Only if I have at least 10x the chips of a player, will I put him A/I w/Any Two. Not call his A/I with any two. He is counting on a few folds in some situations.
