Questioning my assumptions - Pair + NFD vs LAG

I'm playing Devil's Advocate here [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] - Since there is frequently at least ONE raise on a 6-max table, and since you're limping with the intention of folding to the (almost) inevitable raise, wouldn't limping be -EV here, then?

Limp-folding regularly is bad obviously. Limp-calling against a TAG OOP is bad. Limping at a passive table is fine. Limping & calling a raise is fine in a multi-way pot. Open raising may or may not be -EV depending on the table just like open limping.
