I think it's a well written post . I have a few difference and I hope you don't mind me critiquing your article .

If the blinds are at 25-50 and I have a hand like k-7 , I will often times raise to 150 if I expect my opponent to call me with a wide range of hands . It's a mathematical error to raise only 2.5x the BB because your hand should win more than 50% of the time in position ! . In some instances you may even consider raising to 4x if your opponent is spewy and will call a raise with atc's .

So again , I don't think you should restrict yourself to raising only 2.5x the bb without considering your opponent's reaction to it . You did mention that in rare situations you would bet more than 2.5x the bb , but I don't think it's that rare at all .
