Hypothetical question that will blow your mind.

No, you're going to raise enough PF to get the "2"'s to fold. This is precisely my point.

In limit, I'd rather know what my opponents hold than see the flop before them. Because the betting is incremental, and a river bet isn't big in proportion to the size of the pot.

Also, imagine holding pocket 2's in LP (In a NL game) and knowing the final board is going to be AKQ22, you would have phenomenal power over this field. Hope this is more clear.

And in limit, it's better to know what your opponents hold. Say you have AK against a bunch of opponents. 1 has AQ, another has AQ, another has AQ, one has KQ, one has KJ, and another has KJ.

You know that no "Q" will flop, and no "K" will flop. This means that you really only have to worry about the "AQ" hands making a straight (needing 1 of the 2 remaining J's to fall). And, if one of the "J"s fall, than KJ takes the lead. Also, flushes would worry you a bit. But basically, you are a huge advantage to still have the best hand no matter what the flop is.

Knowing the flop here isn't going to help as much. Plus, you know that players will 3-bet and cap with all these AQ hands and stuff.
