Stack sizes also influence our post-flop play. If we raise a good hand pre-flop and only a short stack calls us it can frequently be wrong to cbet if we miss. This is because we would put so much money in the pot by cbetting that we cross the commitment threshold. This is a very common leak even among otherwise solid aggressive players.

This is almost exactly the situation I was thinking about in my post. C-bet here and you'll get yourself in a sticky situation way too often.

I agree. However, I think the statement isn't complete without considering the exception that if you are playing against a weak player a pure bluff can be fine as they will often fold - which will be a huge mistake on their part.

It's situational, of course, but I think a lot will just fire the c-bet with disregard to the stack sizes and the mistake they may be making if this is a habit of folding with 1/3 of the stacks in.
