Yes... if 66 knows that Yerma has precisely A6s, then of course he should call. But even if you see someone wildly raising allin on weak hands, how can you not expect someone to have at least two overcards to your mini pocket pair? If Yerma does turn up with AA or another big pocket pair this time, then you have called off your whole stack at a huge disadvantage. This is a situation where you can expect to be either a small favorite (pocket pair vs. two overcards) or a huge underdog (pocket pair vs. bigger pocket pair). You can't call an allin raise here with 66.
