(I can't recall the specific hand you reference, but iirc many of the hand examples are much deeper than 100bb, which of course a lot of today's games are capped at.)

IIRC it's the one where he has 22 in an unraised pot, he pots it on an 852 (maybe 952 or something similar) board and gets checkraised quite small by someone who'd obviously have raised AA-QQ pre and led other overpairs post

Ok - I found that hand and the effective stacks are only like 100bb. I have to admit, taken in the contect of today's games, that fold would be pretty bad.

If the dynamics of the table were completely different, a fold would be pretty bad? If people can't figure that out, then they probably shouldn't read any poker book.

I'm taking Ciaffones word for it that this guy was such a rock and so predictable it made the fold correct.

I've never seen such a player myself so when I flop bottom set with 100bb stacks the rock is just going to have to show me a higher set because I'm not folding.

And clearly, yes. Some people can't figure that out. See post above from a few days ago to see example.
