I think you guys are being a little hard on Oscar.
I don't think it's that bad at all to call this preflop. A rock is going to shutdown against a cap. Let's say he has QQ. You cap preflop.

Ya.. and he calls you down and gets owned.
Now, 100 hands later, you cap with 88 HU v.s. him. He has QQ/KK, the flop comes Axx. You bet, he *if he is really a weak-tight-rock* folds.
Imo, it is better to "loose" 1SB by overplaying/raising your weaker hands than to loose 1SB by underplaying/calling your monsters.

I think this is just wrong. This means the majority of the time you cap against this guy you will have the worst hand. An ace is only going to flop a fraction of that time. On top of that, a lot of rocks will just call you down with a pair of Kings or Queens anyway. There is a lot more value in misleading him about the value of your hand when you have aces. Since his 3-betting range is slim, you can get him to put a lot of bets in the pot as a big underdog.
