I think we're in complete agreement overall. I should apologize for going down this tangent.
I was trying to adapt our discussion to sberg's original post. but nevermind... we've drifted far from that :-)

But nothing loses time value faster than a DITM put. Consider the MSFT 2002 180 puts. With the stock at 87 Bid, the Put is below parity bid at 92 3/4. The only way to get full value is to exercise, and this if for a put 20 months out.
