Ok...let's try simple logic then.

Let's assume the relation between chips and EV as described has an impact on practical play. If that's the case and Snyder is wrong and Negreanu, Juanda, Lindgren and Raymer are playing almost exactly like recommended by Snyder, they must be doing something wrong also. I don't see that.

The other possibility is that Snyder's recommendations seem to work despite obviously violating the theoretical relation between chips and EV. In this case the whole theory wouldn't have any impact on practical play and therefore be rather worthless. From a practical standpoint, this outcome would make any further discussion about it obsolete.
