That doesn't seem like way too tight a range for an average opponent.

I know the assumption is no read, but perhaps if he were pushing as much as he should have been there would have been a read that he were aggressive.

I'm not saying it's not a call against an average 109'er, but I think it's close and with any impression that the villian has been praying for 3rd, it is a fold.

It's one of those close decisions that I still think is a clear call, if that makes any sense.

I don't want to be abused, meanwhile its not that likely my opponent is signifigantly tighter than the above. Okay I admit that plenty of players are, but there are also plenty of players who will push with any 2, or push with a wider range than this. In any case I prefer to error on the caution of following theory, which states that against someone who plays well, A5o is a call.

If they play poorly I gain EV from them everytime they fold to me anyway. However if I fold against someone who is playing correctly, Im losing huge amounts of EV all over the place.

Probably the above makes no sense, but I like to be careful before assuming my opponents are playing incorrectly in this spot. It gives strong players the chance to crush you.
