As far I as know, a too good position is not a position in which there is no chance to regain the market. This assumption is imo far fetched and simply not given.
Should the equity be strictly greater than than the cube value ,holding the cube or with the cube being centred, I'd consider the position as a too good position per definition. As always I'd not argue about definitions. If someone likes another definition, it's fine with me, however I believe for most of us mortal backgammon players a too good position must already be more worth than the cube value.
In any case, I don't see how to get more out of a position than the cube value, by cubing the opponent out; so for me, if we are going to fancy winning more, we should think as if the cube was dead for us.
