people who say stuff like this seem a bit misguided.
you don't need to have 2,000 BBs to "bully the noobs." in fact, you don't need to have more chips than them. it's really really easy to win pots without showdown against bad tournament players, regardless of stack sizes, on the first day of the main event. this is why good players are able to drop from 20k to 4k and then grind it back up (WITHOUT GOING ALL-IN). 
if you go card dead for 8 hours, you don't have to shove 6k with AQ. in fact, you NEVER HAVE TO SHOVE in the opening days of the main event. you will pretty much have >20 BBs for the entire tournament all the way through the bubble and the money and close to the final table if you're decent and don't get coolered/FPSed.

saying "well u can play for 2 days and then bubble because u have to shove 1.5 BBs with 83s, u gotta gamble at some point" need to remember that you can find low variance profitable situations (even in a high variance game such as a tournament) quite easily in a well-structured fishfest like the ME

it's VERY possible, in a tournament such as the main event, to be a force in the tournament without having your tournament life at risk. esp. when you chip up and are able to put people all-in (the ones that think 'well i gotta gamble at some point') with no risk to your tournament life
