Theory - calling AA vs 3-bets Theory - calling AA vs 3-bets

Hello RIO,
i am at the moment digging through Janda's book "Applications of No-Limit Hold'em, and am at the same time trying to figure out ranges in a lot of spots.
Generally, we should be calling more IP than OOP vs. 3-bets, since we would be removing our positional advantage by 4-betting wide. Janda advocates for that we should be flatting aces vs 3-bets. I can see that it makes sense to strengthen our callingrange, however, shouldn't we be using hands like AK or KK for this? We are such an equity favorite versus pretty much everything, which makes it so valueable for us to just get it in preflop.

What do you guys think?

You forget that the get-it-in range that will 5bet or call our 4bet is a lot smaller.
Calling the 3bet enables villain to hang himself.

Not sure why modern books still focus on controversial poker decisions. The obvious standard play with aces is to 4bet, which will be best in the majority of situations regardless of level.
