Very nicely argued dissenting view, all of which makes sense to me--but I'm confused by one detail in your comp of Tierney and Raymond Burr--were you intending to refer to PITFALL instead of PICKUP as the film to do the swap-out? Tierney as "Mac" McDonald? That would be an interesting difference in those two characters, but I wonder if that would throw off a secondary comparison of bestial males--between McDonald and Liz Scott's in-stir boyfriend (Byron Barr) who has many of the same characteristics as Tierney, albeit in noticeably subdued tones. I think Burr's oiliness is something that we'd miss in the part--he's a clever sadist, and that's a quality that Tierney just doesn't seem to be comfortable projecting.
