After thinking about it, I may have overstated (or mis-stated?_ what I mean. I figured this out, because I do apply your logic when I'm in the BB. That is, I'm more likely to just call a raise from the bb than from the sb (where I'd 3-bet), and probably for the reasons you're stating.

But I STILL think it's important to 3 bet often enough. Don't forget, there are many blind hands you won't want to play and/or won't be able to continue with after the flop. I think that by failing to sufficiently 3-bet, you are encouraging the button to raise. I don't see how that can be good.
