As usual, I don't know if we are agreeing or not Savy.
I don't know exactly what you mean by balance in the above. I think the point is to find the optimal unexploitable strategy, which will likely include capped calling ranges, in any given situation. Having found this, the only reason to deviate is to move our play toward optimal exploitational to take advantage of our opponent's inability to play optimal unexploitable against us.
It is still only in the most extreme cases of exploitable villains where we find an uncapped calling range to be optimal exploitational, and only when there are future opportunities to bet in the hand.
So if someone is "adjusting" to our capped range by always becoming super aggressive when we check, then we can exploit that extremely exploitable behavior in a villain by uncapping our calling range, and bluffing more.
