To be clear, how big are you saying the 4-bet should be?

I agree with this when you're playing with 100BB stacks. It only changed to small 4-bets within the last few months. Before that it was always either 4-bet big and commit or just pooosh. That's how it should be IMO. 4-betting 2x or 2.5x is horrible and all it does is give your opponent a free pass to call with odds. After all, his 3-betting range is a lot tighter than his raising range.
In a vacuum, the only hands that are correct to 4-bet small with are AA, KK and maybe QQ. For obvious reasons, no one is only 4-betting with that range, so the play is sub-optimal overall.
