Screenshot or it didn't happen!
 
I believe you, there are reasons to do so, especially based on table image.  I played in a tournament and played moderately tight, and a raise and two calls would all fold to my 3-bet when I had AK.  I could have had J2 for all they knew.  Stakes and table image make a huge difference, and against some villains you can steal and resteal and it's correct, especially if you've got the stack for it and they've let on that they're going to let you do it.
 
I don't knock aggressive play with bad starting cards, especially in tournaments where chip accumulation is so important, and people tend to be playing cautiously.
 
In tournaments I tend to be more careful, with the exception of some steal attempts and pot builders flopping nut hands (lucky me, right?) I play quite TAG in tournaments.  But like I said, steals and resteals are great ways to pad your stack.
 
While the play may not be mathematically correct (unless your HUD can read minds and tell you fold equity, which would be awesome... a mind reading HUD), it is a means to an end, and worth the effort put into it if it works a certain % of the time.
