Everyone understands the point, it's just not a good one. You are right if you bet $10 the KK might have called. It's not worth it for the times that someone did stay in with A/J or J anything and does call your shove though. Hell even someone overplaying an Ace would probably call this.

What I still don't get is...why would a boat not shove over that small bet? Everyone wants to just shove, but I would assume that the results would end up the same if he has any type of boat. The difference is that, when he has KK, he might pay off $40, but he's not calling a shove.

I think a lot of villains will fold KK on the river, even for a small bet such as 40. Regardless I agree with your point. Since his range is most likely small since he announced it with his small 3bet preflop, I don't mind betting 40 here and getting possible value from KK here. AJ is pushing and all the other hands we lose to. However, I question the number of times villain will even look up 40 here with KK on that board.
