Default Non-standard defense for a standard play?

Everyone seems to think leading out into the preflop raiser is a great play when you flop a big hand (eg a set). But, since everybody knows this, shouldn't hands like TPTK be easier to get away from in that spot? A lot of posts in the NL forums seem to focus on people getting into trouble when they raise pre-flop and then face aggression, so I thought some discussion would be useful.

So for example, you raise in MP with AK, BB calls (both stacks 100BB). Flop is Ace high rainbow, BB leads out with a pot size bet.

Does anybody just fold here? Ever? I know that play comes across as insanely weak tight, but sometimes that bet can only be made by a superior hand (or air, and who bluffs like that?). Do you just see worse aces here enough to always see it out? All thoughts welcome.
