Raising UTG with 22 is a little tougher to quantify. But remember that calling with 22 UTG is correct in many games, and when it is wrong, it isn't a big error (on the $0.05-$0.25 scale). So let's assume that calling is break-even... what is raising on top of that? Well, it is at most $2...

Your statement here is wrong. It assumes that your mistake can only "cost" you when you lose. In this case, if you raise 22 and end up playing against only 2 opponents, it is very likely you will end up winning a smaller pot than if you had limped and got 4 or 5 opponents. So you find more "cost" to raising when you consider what you will make post flop when you hit your set.
I'm not saying that raising 22 UTG is more than a $2 mistake in a 2-4 game, but it is wrong to say that it cannot be more than $2.
