But if we make another big bet of say 23bb, and we get crai and fold, haven't we put in a 1/3 of a stack and folded, hence made a mistake?

Not necessarily. Basically, the purpose for this concept is to avoid exposing us to nasty bluffs. In this case, we would have a viable plan. We bet having already assumed that any raise from villain means he has a hand that beats us and is not bluffing. Therefore we can fold safely. If he calls, we are most likely ahead and got good value.

This concept is not a straight jacket that limits our play. It is simply a tool we use to help us plan our hands in a way that makes our decisions easier.
