Well, not really. You have to understand the makeup of the players. There are quite a few people who have never played more than once or twice in their life. And then you have the people who are serious or semi-serious. It isn't an average of of 12k, its more like 1/2 with 4k and the rest stacked with 20k. (Want to guess who has which stack?).
That's the reason for the unlimited rebuys. It gives those who have never played some time to play and have fun. But when the rebuy period is over then the mistakes are equivalent to tourney life. In the first hour after the rebuy period 99% of the brand new players go home.
