you're really adding a lot of value to this discussion by focusing on the irrelevant.
The only thing that mattered in my statement as it pertained to the context in which it was made is that when KQ is behind it has more equity than AA does when it's behind.

Yeah, when I said that you're statement was misleading, what I really meant is that this cute little factoid is, in fact, the irrelevant part.
You're basically saying that villain's range would be different (and worse for you) if you had AA than if you had KQ (i.e. that what YOU hold influences HIS actions). This might be true if you had some reason to believe your opponent puts you squarely on AA. It isn't true of any normal poker hand.
Your equity is higher vs. his range for raising this flop with AA than if you had KQ. That's what matters.

Actually:
a. that's not what I'm saying and
b. I gave what I thought was a fairly realistic range for him raising the flop and AA and KQ perform almost identically in terms of equity
it may be that my range is not realistic, which was my first question.
