Maybe more than you care to read on the subject of inflation:

Thanks for that link - will check it out shortly.

Re whether the answer would be different - no idea. Am seeing a lot of chatter about people running tubeless at lower PSI for more comfort without risking pinch flats. So was wondering if there is a good tradeoff, where you can lower the pressure by X psi and not lose much in the way of rolling resistance but gain some comfort.
