All of the points made are valid.
 
Generally, I fold it quicker than Phil Helmuth can say that "You called on that?" but Four Dogs makes a valid point about knowing the players you are playing with - eg, some players only raise on pocket pairs so if one of them raises, call the bet and see the flop.
 
Also, if the player makes a very weak raise (2 x BB instead of 3,4 or 5x BB) and there are 3x callers I'll take the 4-1 on offer.
 
Like others have said, short stacked in a tourney where you're a few hands away from being blinded out and heads up are good times to call or re-raise if you have the chips.
 
Also, when you have leverage over your competitors eg, you have 15000 chips, they have 5000 and they have made a fairly weak raise, you can raise to say 2500, steal the blinds and their raise.  Generally, they will only call if they have a pocket pair (then you are about a 50/50 chance) or AK given that their implied odds (future bets) are 100% of their stack so if they lose, they are out.
 
Generally though (9 times out of ten), this is about the biggest dog of a hand you can get in that situation and one that an awful lot of players lose big pots on.
