Sure but thats always going to be case, unless you only defend against 3-bets by 4-betting. Or in general only defend against any bet by raising. Whenever we just call, we are inherently capped, but calling can still be profitable, because we are getting a price. This cover basically any situation including defending blinds, defending to 3-bets or 4-bets preflop and defending to any postflop aggression.

If you feel, someone is overly aggressive, then you can exploit them by strengtening your calling range to sometimes have those very strong hands and then basically let them hang themselfes. I would certainly default 4-bet AA and KK in this situation, but against the right opponent there is nothing wrong with mixing in a call now and then.

On the other hand if I wanted to widen my 4-betting range, then I would rather 4-bet a hand like A5s, which has better blockers, and which I dont mind folding to a 5-bet. In theoretical terms this is known as a polarized rather than linear range. In you 4-bet JJ and get 5-bet, you probably have to fold, and that sucks, because JJ has a lot of equity against his 3-betting range.
