There are times that smoothcalling with AA is a good strategy and there are times when it is not. This is not.
A good time to smoothcall AA is when an aggressive player raises up what you believe to be a strong hand (from utg usually) and you are on the button, CO, or hijack. Then it's good to smoothcall (especially if you think someone behind you will reraise).
At the same time, only smoothcall with AA if the stacks are relatively short compared to the blinds. Letting them see a cheap flop is dangerous and not worth it when you have a deep stack.

I don't agree with this. Flat calling from early position with deep money is pretty standard. After all, your goal is to get allin preflop.
If you think the raiser has a strong hand and you are in late position, then just reraise rather than trap. He will almost certainly atleast call the reraise.
