POLL: 99 overpair - flop decision

I've never actually seen that post before, and it's convinced me that we should just raise the flop here. But doesn't that logic invalidate virtually every case of waiting until the turn to raise?

I'd love to see a discussion of what conditions the people advocating a flop raise feel are necessary for "waiting until the turn", because with 88 it seems like you'd have an even bigger equity edge change depending on the turn card then you would with the TT from the SSH hand.
It would also be nice to hear if people disagree with raising the turn in the TT SSH hand, or if they agree but see some differences in this hand versus that one that swings this to a flop raise.
Someone earlier already made the point that by playing the flop passively, you run into more of these difficult decisions on the turn.
