fwiw 'reasoning' is the wrong word. Your tripe is as far from reasoning as is possible.

Realistically, the only way you're going to win with 94o is if you make everyone fold, since it's one of the shittest hands possible. So you'll get the blinds, lifting you from 6bb to 7.5bb, and achieving nothing more than buying yourself a free orbit to hopefully get better cards. BUT you risk being called by any reasonably good sb or bb hand and almost certainly losing - remember, you're playing short stacks and big stacks, no medium ones, so either a short stack will call you with any half-decent hand out of desperation, or a big stack will call you for fun because they can afford to risk 6bb to take someone out, and either way you're 99%-certainly the underdog.
Whereas with a good hand, you might easily get one or two limpers and the sb and bb in the pot, meaning if you win you're up to 8bb or 10bb, a substantially better position. (Plus you've got some credibility for your next shove.)
Of course, there's no guarantee that you'll get that good hand if you cling on, but the chances of getting a hand substantially better than 94o in the 14 or 15 hands it'll take you to get from 6bb to 2bb are very high indeed.

sounds a lot like "reasoning" to me. You, on the other hand, have said
"I'd shove with 94o" and not given a single reasoned explanation why, and then gone into a massive sulk when someone doesn't take that as gospel. What do you think will happen? You're basically counting on being called by people with better hands (ie almost ANY hand) and miraculously sucking out on them, which is a pretty damn wobbly poker strategy in my book.
