The flipside is that bad players also tend to be passive calling stations, which is sometimes the correct play in limit but almost never the correct play in NL.

So, yeah, you're probably correct, but I do think that limit strategy is very underappreciated and more complex than most people give it credit for, and is also very difficult for amateurs to play optimally.
