In this situation however, folding a missed set, which still could be the best hand at the moment, might be a large enough error to cost you the tournament.

this statement is so retarded i'm not sure where to begin.

Well let's look at some numbers. Hero calls and the pot is about 2600. Hero checks flop (flop is two flush and two overcards) Villain 1 moves in on the flop, Villain 2 folds. Now back to Hero who has a hell of a decision. The all-in is for 5000 chips and Hero has about 5500 left.

If he calls and wins, he has around 13000 chips. If he folds he has 5500 chips and if he calls and loses he has 500 chips.

These kind of decisions can make or break your tournament. If you fold a winning hand here, you are passing on around 7500 chips which is 140% of your stack.

If you still think I'm retarded, well this is a free board and I have a thick skin.
