Default limp AA in 6-max games?

I'm normally a big proponent of raising aces preflop, but in the 6-max SSNL games it seems there are so many people willing to get all-in with top pair, it might be +EV to just limp AA ? In particular I'm thinking on the button or in the CO if it folds around to you, and your opposition is very weak but willing to get allin with top pair. Why not just limp AA and let them catch a piece and then push?

1) because the pot will be two small to build and get them all-in

2) because it's increases the chances they'll catch more than a piece of it

"but in the 6-max SSNL games it seems there are so many people willing to get all-in with top pair"
Thus, you raise and build a pot so that someone can hit top pair with a K or Q and then you can get them all-in. Limping is a horrible idea.

my spelling sucked so here's the correction:

1) because the pot will be too small to build and get them all-in

2) because it increases the chances they'll catch more than a piece of it
