If villain checks to us again on the turn it is much less likely that he has an A since it is rare for players to go for a c/r twice in a row. We can bet and often get value with our high pairs and folds with our junk.

Actually, c-bet KK on a A high 3b pot is not going to fold out only weaker hands. This would depend on villain. Some villains would call with QQ-88, knowing that this is a perfect flop to c-bet. I think to c-bet or not this kind of flop with QQ-KK depends on the type of villain and our position (e.g. if we are IP vs an aggro villain it's better to check-behind so that he can bluff TURN/RIVER).
Plus, there is something else quite important: the size of a 3bet pot is quite important to want to take it down.
