Actually, Leo, what you're saying flies in the face of your opinion that a load is a load is a load. A team looking at purgatory tacked on to a 1500 mi run would probably grin and bear it. A solo looking to do a 400 mi run from the same place is definitely looking for a truck to swap out with (if you have qc).
As far as I'm concerned, there's an exception to every rule. An 800 miler to Manhattan would cause me to run in the opposite direction. However, a load from LA to Manhattan wouldn't even be considered to turn down. And it's very possible that I'd pay to swap with a local to finish the run. Some things aren't worth the risk, mentally or crunchily.
Personally, I don't mind being called a wimp for not going where others are willing to. It's all about what you're comfortable with. But stating so because you're afraid of getting crunched is one thing, tho; and stating so because your finances say it stinks, or because you don't like it, is something totally different.
