This makes no sense at all since the chips don't change value.
you are misunderstanding what i meant by this. i mean, if you drop down, and go on your rush, at the lower level, you miss out on positive variance you "deserved" at the higher level, had you been deep enough to stick around at the higher level. meaning, you pay all of your dues up higher, and reap the benefits at lower stakes.

Again this isn't relevant unless you have some way to predict when you are going on a heater. You could equally stay at your lower level and go on your heater (instead of moving up and taking it at the higher level), and then finally move up at 40 buyins to take a cooler and send you back down.
Since you have no way to predict variance then basing a plan/argument on when it is going to strike is a bit pointless.
all i am getting at is the longer you stay at a given level, the longer you have to receive both the positive and negative swings. if you run on a thinner roll, you will have to drop down sooner, thereby missing any ensuing upswing that may/may not follow. but, at least you can wait awhile longer, in case said upswing DOES come.

i was offended because you dismissed my idea as "silly" as opposed to "another opinion." i think that was a poor choice of words, and decided to defend my point a little because "silly," to me, is synonymous with "stupid" or "crazy." overreaction? maybe. but those werent MY words.
like i said in the beginning, we will agree to disagree on this one, as its clear i am not going to change your mind, or you mine. not that we were trying to change each other's mind. we were simply trying to provide opinion/advice to OP's question.
