I think the point Bob is making is that a lot of the time, this "hand that beats us" is a weak pair that will fold to a raise often enough for Bob's 2BB bluff investment to be profitable.

I don't know if I agree, but he might play a flush draw faster than he did, so there's an argument to be made that villain is weak on this river. Of course, the straight draw came in too. So I would probably fold -- but I think at least *considering* a raise is correct, especially if battle position shades dude is the type to checkraise rivers when he hits his hand (as most pricks like this are).
