On the other hand, not playing a profitable hand because you will only get called when you are beat is not a reason to fold if the resulting play gives you a decent positive expectation by picking up the pot in an overwhelming majority of the cases. And of course some of the time you are an underdog you will win.

While an A student, I flunked every H.S math course, when I was 7yrs
old, I would write a three backwards, and my father would slap me, thinking
I was being a wise guy, In 1947, we didn't know what Dyslexia was,
let alone understand the disabilities that some people have which are
not easily evident.
But I do have mathematical instincts, even when I played higher stakes,
I would routinely found strait possibilities with three or less players, sensing
that I was not getting correct pot odds to call. So while I admire
Barry's math genius, which it is, I will have to play with my instincts as
a guide
