I would check the flop to control the pot size.

this is pretty results oriented

pot control is more reserved for dry boards. at this point we must bet to protect our hand.

I don't like the strength of AA on this flop. So I am adhering to NLHE: T&P saying bet strong hands strongly.

I am confused, if you had AA on a dry board, why would you try to control the size of the pot as opposed to building a big one for the likely best holding (unless proven otherwise via betting).

Betting to protect our hand in this spot doesn't really protect our hand because we open ourselves up to semi-bluffs that will work.

As for the result oriented remark, I agree that Button's actions probably skewed my decision.
