I agree in part, but on the other hand it's not quite the same - we have the flop crippled. Even A55 or K55 is not going to be a flop most villains will get it in on with AK for example if facing a lot of action, and an overpair will often play carefully when the board is paired. It's like a monotone flop for an overpair or TPTK in that regard, it tends to kill the action and slow everybody down.
It's also a little different than other nutted hands in that we don't have to worry about getting drawn out on, so whereas I'd never slowplay a set on anything other than a bone-dry board, something like this that is beyond getting drawn out on might warrant playing much more slowly to give him a chance to improve.
Regardless, if he doesn't have a hand, we're not getting any value.
