Yes. If he is an idiot who called that big-ass raise with a baby pair and flopped a set, you pay him off. But that's the dream flop for your aces considering the pre-flop action. You're BEGGING to get all the money in.
Does hero's line justify villian's call here? I look at Hero's preflop raise as being the hypothetical equivalent of flipping his cards and showing Aces and saying call if you want to go fishing. Assuming villian does have a baby pair, villian is looking at calling $4 for a pot that has 6.60 in it plus 21.25 or Hero's stack. So villian has a good read on what Hero is likely holding but the inverse is not neccesarily the case. So let's narrow villians hand selections to 66/55/44/33. Either way he isn't getting enough implied odds to set hunt here but I think what villian is lacking in implied odds might be made up for by information about Hero's hole cards. Either way villian is entering a -EV situation in calling the raise but Hero can be blindsided with this line.

Any thoughts on this because I'm not even sure I believe what I'm saying.
