Yeah. The min insertion mark provides adequate strength and safety margin at the max design weight and max design road impact. If you're significantly lighter than the max design weight, you can achieve the same safety margin with the post inserted less the min mark. How much less you can get away with depends on a lot of factors. Agree that at 145 lb, you're likely safe with 5mm less than min insertion.
