So even wear is NOT an indication that the inflation pressure is where it ought to be. And uneven wear is NOT an indication that the pressure is wrong.
This is starting to sound like there is no black and white answer, which i am glad you bring attention to. We live in a gray world, there are few absolutes.

100psig inflation works well in a semi truck tire, not so well in a passenger car tire.
