Yeah but there are some reasons to raise against a thinking player here. If I were the villian in the hand and I knew you were a 2+2er, I would call down the raise with a hand like KK or QQ KNOWING that you don't have an ace when you raise the turn. So against someone who expects you to call with an ace, it might actually be correct to raise with an ace. This is why poker is so complex and after you get to a certain level of thinking it becomes a game of "[censored] this guy, I'm just calling him down." Against a player who isn't thinking about what you think he is thinking, you should just call the turn though.
Edit - It is very important that people understand this concept. If you have questions about why you should just call the turn, feel free to ask.
