If I'm against the tightest rock in the world who WILL NOT under any circumstances raise without the absolute nuts, then putting in a 3rd bet on a K7442 board with KK is -EV. On the other hand, if I'm playing against someone who doesn't look at his cards, there's no way I'm not putting it all in with AK on a AJ962 board.

Yeah since TPTK is like the 15th nuts.

Read the post. If my opponent literally doesn't look at his cards, his hand range is any two. TPTK on that board beats 90% of hands. If he turns up two pair+, oh well. It was still +EV to put it all in.

You need to think a little past "oh, I don't have the nuts, I can't put it all in." Of course, the reserve is also bad, "oh, I have the nut boat, I'm going to the felt." Think in terms of hand ranges. What hands would my opponent play this way, and how many of them can I beat?
