Default SAGE in cash games?

Yes, SAGE debate is not over yet! lol

Alright, I'm obviously talking of common situation we've all seen - you sit to play with 'normal' 100BB stack and someone sits in with min buy-in 10BB. I personally hate this. And I know that lots of players will refuse to play unless shortie buys-in full, or at least >50BB. But aren't we missing some value here?

First of all, almost all of these opponents do this because they are either (both) inexperienced or improperly bankrolled. That is, they'll play scared, back off to aggression and that's where SAGE comes in handy. Since this is 10BB or lower scenario, by playing 'the system' you should be, in theory, unbeatable. And it's not much of a risk, 10BB meh. The only risk I could think of is your opponent getting lucky, doubling up and running away. But then again, as I've seen they usually choose to stay and win more. From that point on, you of course play normal game - remember: you are skilled and experienced, he is scared and inexperienced.

Thoughts?
