Buzz,

This is flat out wrong. Well, technically you are correct since you are making it more expensive when you lose. But that is like arguing that one should not bet the nut flush on turn because the river will pair the board and thus you will lose more by betting/raising the nuts in that spot. Your statement is only correct when your pot equity on bets going in is less than amount you are putting in. This will only be true in rare instances for top set in the situations described.
