Here's an evil thought:

Our range is not only defined by the hands we would play in a certain way, it is also defined by the range of hands similar players would play in a certain way.

It would take an absurd amount of hands to remove 22-55 from our UTG range unless they could do so via a forum post, table talk, etc.

Hence, we don't need to ever play a hand for an opponent to have to put it in our range.
