Where ICM is lacking?

Interesting discussion, thanks for clarifying a few things for me pineapple.

One concept I have trouble applying is when to take slight -EV pushes, you alluded to this above:

Part of the skill of STTs is understanding how important each of those five factors become in various situations, to set your minimum edge correctly. This min edge can range from quite large to potentially slightly negative (on very tough tables where the sizable blinds are about to hit you).

ICM undervalues big stacks slightly (steal equity) and overvalues micro-stacks slightly (loss of fold equity).

So we should make slightly negative EV pushes to prevent losing our fold equity when large blinds are about to cripple our stack? An example of when this is correct would really help me out. Sometimes I find myself doing this intuitively and later look back at my HH and wonder if it was the right play.

And everyone else at the table is clueful so they aren't about to bust each other out. It really doesn't come up all that often. I could construct an example I suppose but don't have one at my fingertips.
