I have an analogy that I remember from a business college class.
The professor said something very close to this: "From a financial prospective, no one should own their home outright. They can make more money investing these funds elsewhere while paying a lower APR on a home mortgage. The home appreciates or depreciates whether its owned outright or financed."
I'm not saying I agree with this statement in its entirety but I do agree with the general principle.
Its a psychological thing, just as owning a home outright in theory is the wrong financial move, it puts the homeowner in a safe place.
Stop wins/ Stop losses are the same for a small percentage of people, although net losers long term vs. not setting these "stops", It benefits their mental well-being.
So the question becomes what is "peace of mind" worth to these players that are concerned with this(specifically session win percentage/and large losses due to variance)? This answer will be different to each player.
So if a player can give up 10% of EV and they have "piece of mind", it may be worth it to THAT player. Math doesn't have emotions, people do.
Bottom line is we know Mathematically stop wins/losses don't work. Mentally this is a tough game. If it helps someone to "stomach" the losses by giving up a few percent in EV it just may be worth it to THAT particular player.
