You're very amusing.
Thank you, but no, I don't have a problem. And the point remains that there is no hand you can't lay down, period. Circumstances, not just what's printed on those two pieces of cardboard, dictate if and how you play a hand. It's always been that way, it will always be that way. There are no hard and fast rules, and certainly nothing saying that you "always" or "never" do something.
And you're NOT always the favorite with AA, since there are two other aces in the deck. Unlikely perhaps, but possible that someone else is playing the other pair. This makes your AA a coin-toss preflop, and a loser if four of his suit hit the board.
Of course it would be highly odd, and under all but the most unusual circumstances extremely improper, to ever lay down aces preflop. But don't say it's a "never". The only thing that's a "never" in poker is, well, never say never.
A great discussion on the very concept of laying down pocket aces can be found elsewhere in the forum, the result of a thread asking "would you" if it was the first hand of the WSOP and two other people were already all-in. I think it's in the "tournament strategy" section.
