i'm not saying this concept is never going to be valid at any stakes/vs any opponents/at any time, but i have certainly burned a lot of money wrongly accounting for "spazz factor" in my opponents ranges. if you have a particular read that they spazz out in certain spots then definitely, go ahead and make thinner call downs, or whatever your adjustment may be (one example of this that springs to mind is preflop dick-waving contests i've noticed at 50nl where the preflop dynamic is often pretty aggro and it seems to cause some regs to do spastic shit, to some degree). but generally speaking i think that thinking like this is potentially dubious and largely irrelevant to beating microstakes games compared to other concepts like pot equity, fold equity, the ability to detect and exploit particularly weak/strong ranges etc.
i may have mis-interpreted your post, or extended the scope of the idea further than you intended, but that's my two cents.
