I think i know why? (either you feel you have a big enough edge in the hand or you feel that you will have to play a coin flip at some stage of the tourney so why not now)
But what is your reasoning here?

I"m crap and will take any edge I can get?
;D

This isnt a coin flip like everyone makes out, almost but its not! I will always, no matter what take the hand that is infront!
There is a section in Doyles bible where he runs any pair of deuces against Ace King straight out, and he always takes the deuces and they do this for $500 a time! In the long run he always walks away with the most cash!
But the issue here is, it is in the long run and you only have one shot!
It would make my decision even easier when i see he has A K, someone makes a move like that and you see queens you instantly think they have Aces or Kings, so knowing he has to hit a card to beat you as apposed to the other way around, its a call all day everyday!
Any man a gambler or a poker player would take the queens, but alot more gamblers would bet it!
Swinebag:
Cash game - insta call
late stages of tourney (depending on stacks and blinds) - call
early stages of tourney (this scenario) - reluctant fold

Fold.
Is trusting to luck in a 50/50 race, with the blinds so small, really poker ?

A lot of the other reasons for folding I agree with - but this is the gist of why I would fold.
I play poker to have fun - if I didn"t have fun I wouldn"t play - shoving all your chips in for races is not fun.
I"d rather get beaten by being outplayed postflop than win by winning preflop shoves.
However, I also have no concept of the value of money.

I"d have a lot more fun with 20,000 chips ;D.
