I think you're quite right in general, and I have been guilty of far too many wimp-outs.
One shouldn't take this as a license to ignore obvious warning signs (you drive TPTK
into a scary board against three non-maniacal opponents
and it comes to you two bets cold on the turn, for
example; don't laugh, I did this and got shown a
straight AND a flush).

Kicker trouble often means you played a hand that should
have gone muckety-muck pre-flop; I cured my addiction to
weak aces by sorting my pokertracker stats by BB won/hand
and noticing that AXo for X<8 was prominent in the
red-ink zone.

There are still plenty of cases where the cure is
a table change, though!
