Please, dead horse.
The reason we are suggesting lower pressure for 2" or larger tires is that it is faster on anything other than paved roads. Multiple tire manufacturers have tested this and confirmed it.

Not to mention, it sounds terribly uncomfortable.

So, as we have alluded, YES, YOU CAN RUN YOUR 29x2.0" TIRES AT 65PSI WITH TUBES. Tubeless, probably not; they will almost certainly blow off the rim. I've seen them blow off well below the stated max, which, again is for use WITH TUBES.

Perhaps, just maybe, we are all significantly more experienced than you (based on your bike, I'm guessing that's the case) and are trying to help. If you want to be the idiot bouncing all over the place and riding slowly because you refused to listen to the advice of those that have a lot more time on the bike than you, that's fine. I'll laugh as I go sailing by you at 25psi. Enjoy rattling the fillings out of your teeth.
