This is not scare tactics. Of course "the data" points to underinflation being the more common cause of sidewall seperation. Probably because underinflation is far more common than overinflation. "the data" says so.
What I said is not to scare people, it is to keep them alive in "extreme" situations. Do baloons pop from overinflation, or underinflation? Also, i did not say "do not overinflate your tires". I said to not inflate them to the maximum sidewall pressure while cold. On the race track I inflate to 36psi cold up front and when I come off the track and check them they are at 42-44 hot. If you inflate to 51psi, you will be at 55-60psi depending on the tire when you are on a highway. If you come off that highway sideways you WILL blow a sidewall (not have it fall off the bead, but tear it open) and you may hook a rim in the dirt.
