I'm fairly certain you're wrong. Maybe not in this exact situation, but calling pot bets with OESDs or double gutters with deep stacks isn't wrong.

You are 5:1 to hit your OESD. You are getting 2:1 calling a pot-sized bet. That means, if you hit, over the course of the hand, he needs to pay you off more than 3x the bet you just called, to make your call correct.
That's it, that's all you need to know. If you're certain he will pay you off a lot, you can call a pot bet.
This is often considered a bad play, because how can you be sure?
