Sure, for an extreme example, if villain shoves his entire range for 200bb on the flop, you can obviously see it is profitable to flat a 3bb open with ATC.
As a realistic example, there are live players, usually older guys, who will only raise AA/KK to 5bb (they limp QQ, AK) and will stackoff 100bb on nearly any board so you can easily flat pocket pairs profitably against them even though you only have 20% equity vs their range.
