exactly why i think betting the flop is so important
"elaborate on your leading the flop position."
here are some reasons for leading.
--avoid having it checked around as you may have the winner
on that flop and lady may not bet AK, AQ, etc.
--clean up outs by giving some hands you want to fold (Kh5h for instance and yes that is possible for one of the cold callers to have) a chance to fold for either one bet or two (should old lady or someone else raise).
--get information as to the strength of other player's hands. for instance if you bet and old lady autoraises you can safely put her on a big overpair because she's predictable and readable.
there may be other reasons but those are my top 3. i think checking here instead of betting is a significant mistake.
