^^^this.
Players tend to look at the profitability of small pocket pairs in isolation from their other hands. Over time, I've come to the conclusion that manipulating your PFR% and AF is reason enough to raise small pockets, esp. as you get higher in stakes. The payoff that comes with the increased action you get on your monsters, while hard to quantify, is nevertheless definitely there.
raising>limping>folding, imho, as a general rule.
Exceptions would be having multiple shortstacks, preflop calling stations, aggressive 3-bettors or habitual c-bet floaters downstream, which is when I revert to limping some of the time.
