You missed a key part of my post (I hope):

Note that you are pretty much guaranteed to win this tourney (only one loser left), but you are willing to risk your entire stack against a bigger stack? No way. That would be crazy. You HAVE to fold here.

I would only fold in this position if there were 2 or 3 very short stacks at the table, whose knockouts were bound to happen within 20 hands anyways. if everyone was about even, theres no way i could fold if i knew i could cripple the big stacker at this point. You're right in what you said, but I would only fold in this position if a shortstack is about to get killed by the blinds.

first hand, you have to push it in. if you want to play as scared money, then you have no business in being there in the first place.

like others said, the only way i ever lay down aces preflop, is when you are on the bubble in a satellite, there are multiple players already all in, and there is no benefit to moving up in the chip count. other than that, i am just hoping that they hold up.
