My view on rebuy tourneys is not connected to today's conditions at all, but rather those that existed back in 90's when I used to play them. If anything it was more effective then, as bullying was more likely to succeed, and fields were smaller. Another significant reason why big stacks are best, which is hard to measure, is simply that it gives you room to be unlucky, or make a mistake. Lastly, I would add that the big stack strange attractor may play a part (tip of hat to chaos.)
Back when I played, and won, those things on a regular basis, the most successful players were clearly those who played loose in the rebuy period. Interstingly I was known as the "white Ali Mallu" :)
