Default SB vs. BB - Marginal Hand Vs. Tight BB

Here's the setup. Full table has folded around to me in the SB. BB is VERY tight. I've seen two hands out of him in 60 hands, AA and KK. VP$IP is 7%. I'm going to admit a mistake in that I probably should have raised, not just completed, but that's not where my question comes in. It's pretty obvious I'll take this pot down, but afterward, the BB roundly criticzed me for calling his raise preflop. He went on and on about how J6s should never call the raise. Since I won, of course I didn't think much of it, but it got me to thinking, was he right?

I've gone over the hand with PokerStove and come up with my evaluation, but I don't want to be results oriented, nor do I want to color your response, so I'll refrain from posting my analysis right now. Was calling the raise of the completion the right move?
