So if we 4-bet, villain shoves 6 combos of hands that crush us, 6 combos of hands that we race with OR we fold out 24 combos that are slight favorites against us BUT also fold out about 36 combos of hands that have some serious Reverse Implied Odds against our hand.
If your assumptions above are correct than you cannot 4-bet AKs.
The only time you should 4-bet AKs is when you think you will get called by worse or fold out better. According to your assumptions it does not seem like a worse hand is calling and the better hands that fold are not that much better than AKs
