Is my understanding of reverse implied odds correct/incorrect/need adjustment?
If you have a fairly weak made hand, but the pot is small and it's pretty easy to outdraw you (I think the book example is 92 on a 983 2-suited flop), then you will be paying off other hands more often than they will be paying you off, so it's best to just give the hand up since you can't have a positive expectation there because of the bets you'll lose on later betting rounds.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Pretty much nailed it. Any card that comes on the turn or river is going to be a bad card for you, and its really not worth the fight.
Note how many opponents you are against, though. In sixmax say its checked to me in the BB with 92 and that same flop comes, I'm leading with a bet.

That particular sentence just sort of made it click. I really get it now.
