luegofire,
you fail to realize how much it is worth to get rid of the shortstacker and have her/him replaced at the table.

luego and I talked about this - this is a short-term 'gain' but a long-term loss, so it's ultimately -EV. Making -EV decisions against shortstackers will only make the desire to shortstack greater - I hear lots more players considering doing it when they are tired/bored/whatever.
I can see some situations where you'd want to get rid of the shortstack - fish to your right who you'd like to isoraise/call with a wide range, shortstack to your left - but to call every time based on that ridiculousness only makes shortstacking more viable and increases their numbers.
