Default malmuth on bluffing

i've been reading a review of malmuth's poker essays 3 and one point especially troubled me. in his essay "a note on bluffing", malmuth makes several serious errors when he writes about expected value.

for example, what should you do when you encounter a player who never bluffs? malmuth wrote:

[ QUOTE ]
Since he never bluffs, you should never call. Your expectation on the end is also zero because you never give up a bet that you shouldn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

that seems bizzare. just because your opponent bets, it doesnt mean he has a better hand than yours. if i hold the nuts then i'm certainly not going to throw my hand away. instead i'm going to raise back.

has malmuth ever tried to explain his thinking on this particular essay? thanks.
