PREFLOP it may be correct, but when you DO call or reraise you'll a) be getting alot more credit (typically), making it VERY easy to play alot of flops, good or bad for your hand. The goal isn't to take away all his equity pre-flop, I mean 3betting all 25% or not isn't going to build pots against too many weaker hands, however post flop is where the big pots will get built, and he is going to be playing ALOT of hands with very poor reverse implied odds and also find himself in many tricky situations with weak kickers, middle pairs, etc., if he is raising almost ATC then widening your calling range should NOT be your best solution, you need to build pots with solid hands, and exploit his aggressiveness, as most ATC raisers will be c-betting very frequently, as the blinds increase this will become increasingly expensive for them, as will just 3x'n pots preflop as the blinds escalate, but widening your PF calling range is not going to exploit his tendencies too much when your OOP it's hard to do this vs. a decent player, you need to look at maximum EV decisions, not just +EV, I mean we can argue all day by you saying "But it'll be GOOD FOR HIM Pre-Flop!!!" , however , again, you can adapt to him but it shouldn't be by calling more OOP, play a solid game til 25/50 or 50/100 and then make your 3bet range and calling range wider than 25%, then all of a sudden in a few hands you can be up a huge amount of chips... I dunno, im being dragged away from the comp by my g/f, but let's get more discussion this, I am saying it is not the correct way to adapt to most ATC raisers like that
