1: The first group of data is that of a high stakes shorthanded player with 300K+ hands at levels between 50/100 and 500/1000. His winrate is .73BB/100

Thats a very broad range of limits. I'm not sure how meaningful the winrate is with such a mix of limits.
I'd be asking how many hands at which limits, and how shorthanded.

2: The second set of hands is drawn from a mid-stakes shorthanded player who draws from 430K hands from levels between 10/20 and 100/200 and shows a winrate of .04BB/100.

Again the range is over a factor of 10.

so its like a low limit player mixing his results for 1/2 2/4 3/6 5/10 and 10/20.
That said 0.04BB is not a good win-rate shorthanded (6 max)
6max rates in excess of 1BB/100 are acheivable in low and middle limit, and if you play much shorter you can do much much better than this, but only if you select your opponents carefully.
I would rather make 0.5BB/100 at 5/10 than 0.04 at 50/100

The third set of hands is drawn from a mid-stakes full ring player who has just short of 700K hands at limits between 10/20 and 100/200 and wins at a .55BB/100.

Player distributions and therefore game texture change dramatically at certain limits depending on the site and bonus/rakeback structures.

For example 3/6 and 5/10 games may play very differently to 1/2 and 2/4 and 10/20 through 20/40 tends to confront you with tougher tricky players, 30/60 again often plays very differently.

I remember using stat king many years ago and the picture of sklansky warning you not to mix your limit results......
