This is because you're putting yourself in a position to make mistakes when you cap your range instead of putting villain in a position to make mistakes when you keep your range strong and wide.
You're mostly expecting better hands to call and worse hands to fold, but you're betting to get the villain to fold his share of equity? So basically a cbet? Are there enough hand combos in his range that would fold to a bet to make a cbet profitable?
I kind of suck at thinking about ranges, but could we say that he would flat a 4b with something like { QQ-99,AJs+,KQs,AQo+ } (or 54 hand combos after taking blockers into account)? He calls a flop bet with { QQ-JJ, AJs+, KQs, AQo+ } (42 combos) and folds { TT-99 } (12 combos). With a cbet of $1.55, then you need villain to fold around 42% of the time, but if these ranges are correct, villain is only folding around 22% of the time. Or do you think he would flat more pocket pairs and suited connectors?
When you say you b/f to induce mistakes, what mistakes are you expecting in this particular situation? Aren't you making it easier on the villain too by encouraging him to fold most stuff you beat and to call with most stuff you don't? And if he calls the flop, do you c/f turn unless its a king or a spade?
