I don't know if anybody knows what your point is, so how can it be proven?

Lets start over, you acknowledge that increased pressure (i.e. 45psi) improves (or at least doesn't injure):
Rolling Resistance
Wear
Cornering turn in
Braking Traction
reduced hydroplaning

What is the problem again? Oh, the exact mechanism? ok, so belts are not parallel, yah, ok, still hard to shear them when they are overlaid and bonded. The tire at 45 didn't seem to get "rounder", it got less concave.
