I have never read it. What would you be referring to specifically? Maybe if you quoted it or something the raise would make sense. "Read NLTAP" still makes it out of line for me. (maybe Ed Miller can change my mind)
Nah. He basically says what you say. He says you should reserve these squeeze plays for your terrible hands like 72o (it suggests you usually check/fold the flop if you get called). With hands that have potential, he says you usually make more money by seeing a flop.
However, in stox's videos, he tends to do these squeeze plays with hands that have some value, like mine. Also, in NLTAP, it suggests that if theres a higher than average chance you may get called (as per the loose player), its better that you muck your weak hands, and pull the play with hands that have some value to fall back on, like mine. Honestly, I've foudn that in the 600nl game, this play works best with something to fall back on.

To desuade the CFAB (call for a bluff) play or a semi bluff. or a small PP value bet (admittadly, not many of those left). Unless he's getting real tricky, you're worrying about an eight or a set here no?
I dunno. I would rather let him take this down now, than to CFAB the flop, and pick up TP or a straight draw and call the turn when I would have to give up the river. Also, I don't think I'm usually ahead once he calls the flop.

Why?
Because when he checked the turn, I felt that I was probably ahead. Then I bet the river without giving any thought to it. As soon as I bet, I thought ****, theres no way he calls with a worse hand and I hsould have tried to at least induce a bluff. Then I realized he might view my river bet as a weak hand, and try to push me off it, so I was hoping he would raise so I could get value out of my hand. Obviously if he raised more, it would have made me a bit uncomfortable, but I was quite pleased he raised so little.
