Where is your science to back up your argument?

I distinctly remember reading a paper that stated that increased pressure does in fact increase wet traction. I do not have the link handy, but I will look for it.

On some older tire designs center wear may be a problem. I personally have never had a problem with any tires I've used and I run over max sidewall pressure.

Maintaining momentum through turns is a good idea for saving gas. I see no reason to take that tip it down. Obviously taking turns at dangerous speeds is a hazzard. I think you better go post your message on every performance forum on the internet as they're much more likely to be taking turns at dangerous speeds than we are.
