The only argument I can see for dampening down the raising propensity on good hands is if the rest of the table are playing for social pleasure and your running over them is starting to get in the way of their buying more racks.

This is a very good point. I play in a very social/juicy OE rotation. Many of them never raise preflop and don't believe in it. I still raise preflop, but not as often as I would normally because of this.
