as long as you realise it's a stupid leak then that's fine, if you're making -EV moves when you reach a certain amount of money then you should definitely quite, but should work on stopping making those moves

It may be a "stupid" leak, but pretty much every player I've ever met had some degree of it. I think it's almost as fundamental a psychoogical phenomena as tilt and the defense is basically the same.
After all, when you're on tilt, pretty much everyone agrees that the correct thing to do is get up from the table either temporarily or permanently until your state of mind improves. No one reccomends you continue to play tilted, no matter how good the game might be in theory. I don't see this as any different, really.

If everyone jumped off the roof would you? It is exactly opposite of quiting while you are on tilt. When you are on tilt you are playing bad, when you are up the assumption is you are playing well (or getting smacked in the face with the deck) quiting in the former is a great idea, in the later is a leak. There are situations when it isn't a bad leak; like when your PT session tracker is all red and you really want to book a win, but it is still a leak.
