Pot Committed is a highly overrated concept.

Wrong or right? I think in NLHE tournies, it's highly overrated. Let's say you have KK, and you raise, and a very loose player calls. From experience, you know he'll play Ax to the bitter end on any raise. The flop is all small cards, you bet big again, and he calls. The turn is an ace, and you pick up a tell that tells you he has hit his ace. Despite whatever you choose to do (check, bet big, whatever) he goes all in, and at this moment you are considered pot-committed. I've seen people even say these words in this situation, "I know you have the ace, but I'm pot-committed." And, they call. Ha! Very overrated concept. Something to paint an overall picture with maybe, but nothing that should make you call when you know you're beat.
