I'm not sure the guy is "nuts" per se, but Schwalbe studded tires might be the best test for this theory, as they're the ones with the worst reputation for losing studs.
I have Schwalbe Marathon Winters. I purchased these in 2011 and used these for the first time on New Year, 2013.
I've lost about 4 studs on the two tires.
