Why would you use a clearly-inferior metric (cEV) to justify a play when a much better one (ICM-derived $EV) is available? If you want to make a Gigablock argument, go right ahead. There are some good ones out there that make a lot of sense, but they should be framed as "-$EV immediately, but offset by creating larger/more frequent +$EV opportunities later" arguments and not this irrelevant cEV argument.

If you're just using cEV to quickly estimate that a play isn't horribly -$EV, that's less bad, but there are too many situations where neutral cEV plays are very, very -$EV to make this sort of generalization.

EDIT: In conclusion, I find your argument laughable.
