Good point, but In this case, It is a must.
This is a bad flop. (although not the worst)
Since he is playing the hand OOP, he MUST bet this flop, or he opens the door for villain to make a bet we can't call. (unless you want to get cute, and call the flop bet and bet out on whatever the turn brings, but with no read that play is -EV)
So essentially, by checking this flop, we may as well open fold our kings.
We are throwing the hand away by checking.

Why would you want to induce a bluff here? You can't call it.
My advice stands (both above, and previous post)
Moral of the story, Maximize your wins, and minimize your losses.
A standard C-bet on this flop will do this because
1) you can't check it down to showdown, since you are OOP (unless your opponent is a complete monkey)
2) you certainly don't want to put a more money in here than you have to.
3)If he calls your pot sized bet on the flop, you are most likely beat,( or against a really bad player that will more than likely give you a tonne of chips in a later hand,) and can easily get off the hand.
4) VERY IMPORTANT! It doesn't matter if your opponent knows you are C-betting in this spot, Heck, you could even tell him you are. He still can't correctly call without the ace.
