That may be true but as you increase the pressure and decrease the flexibility of the walls, stress concentrations amplify due to impacts from potholes, sudden bumps, etc.
I imagine the safety factor build into tires must be around 2-3 times max sidewall, but as I said before, I'd rather not risk it. There doesn't seem to be enough specific information on individual tire types to support or refute any arguements about it. Everything is just word of mouth from experience.
