You can't assume the bold here since Villain can't check. Since we can't really look at Villain's EV of calling a 4-bet without writing a short novel, check the EV of Villain's other two options and see when the EV of shoving is better than the EV of folding.
For an extreme counter-example to the bold, what if the pot was $1,000,000 and Villain had $1 behind. Would he prefer to shove with 32o (doesn't have 50%+ equity against your calling range) or fold?
Ill try comparing the EV of folding to 5bet shoving. Well the EV of folding is obviously 0 so ill try work the rest out.
So if the stack and pot sizes were different he wouldn't need 50% like in your example.
So can we assume that providing the villain has a decent stack left and isn't pot committed he needs 50% equity to shove?
