Does anyone believe that playing AA in this spot would be a good idea?

If you goal is $EV maximization, then yes. If you want to lose money/lower $EV over the long-run on this hand, then no.

If this thread is a joke, then I bit.

If there was some ridiculous situaiton where (for example) the payout was top 2 place only (say 60/40), BB had 8,000 chips, you had 1,998 chips, the other two players had 1 chip each and BB would call with any two....then it's a clear fold $EV wise...

...but I haven't yet encountered a situation in a 50/30/20 payout SNG yet where it was correct $EV wise to fold AA preflop.
