"True M" vs. Harrington's M: Critical Flaws in Harrington's M Theory

I don't think the main issue with M is the number of rounds before you get blinded out if you fold everything.

If you have an M of 3, you increase your stack by 1/3 if you open push and no one calls, and you are getting 4-3 pot odds if you get one caller not in the blinds.

I think the bigger issue than the blinds going up is the ante. Having an M of 6 with 9K chips and 500/1000 blinds is not the same as having an M of 6 with 9K chips and 250/500/75 blinds. You would make different types of open raioses and reraises in the two cases.

You would? I guess I miss the point here, because I'm open pushing and calling pushes with identical ranges here, WITH M=6. Had you said m+10 or higher, I can see how smaller raises in the last ante situation would be preferable, especially had the table/opponent been playing passively. Am I missing something important here???
