Calling your KK pushes is also pretty hard to justify because if people are watching you, they will probably call based on how they see you. If you are an extreme TAG, then most people won't be calling you unless they have AA or KK. If you are very loose, people will be more willing to call with QQ/JJ, AK, and maybe AQ.

This could be an important part of it. But it can't just be looseness. It has to be specifically looseness with 3-betting.

I mentioned in one post making what I think was a big mistake in a live game in Vegas. One of the players at the table was really bad. He raised with utter trash and cold called raises with utter trash. He was a real donator. Finally I got QQ and I was prepared to reem him if he would just stay in the hand. I raised, he reraised. Bingo! I went all in, he called and showed KK.

My mistake? In 4 hours of raising and cold calling, he had not reraised a single time at the table, until my hand. To a lot of players, 3 betting just really means something.

Then that QQ vs KK situation comes down to the abnormal playing of your opponent. If they do something that you aren't expecting, you can almost read their hand perfectly. It's just like in a tournament, heads-up, someone raises, pushes, raises, raises...etc, and then one hand they limp. That should set off warning bells.
