Inflating tires to or beyond max sidewall pressure I'll agree with you is probably not a good thing IF you do not change your driving habits. However, one of the most important hypermiling techniques is 'driving without brakes' in which you drive as if you don't have brakes. This increases following distances and greatly decreases the chances of accidents. If I had to say, most (not all, as with anything) hypermilers are much more attentive and safer drivers than almost anyone else on the road today. You are right that they teach for 'driving idiots', and therefore that is what we have today.
