Low pressure is for kids bikes and child size adults on small rims. Higher is faster.
In a vacuum on perfect surfaces, wholly inaccurate in reality.

Only comfort bikes and beach cruisers run low pressure
Nope...and for myriad reasons.

Everyone ignores tire construction in these discussions as well...this is a very complex topic. Differences in construction of same type tires can easily account for different levels of deflection in different brands/models of tires for a given size at equal pressure.
