160 PSI is affixed to the pump for the same reason.
Most people would put the minimum amount of air in needed to get home.
You might as well get snippy about the stated length of the tape measure.
I understand that, which is why I said that he should try getting it up to his desired pressure. And I really do think that he should try it out first - I think that it'll be a genuine learning experience. 160psi is pure fantasy. His normal riding pressure (100-110psi) may be within the realm of possibility, but it's very doubtful that it's within the realm of reality. Frankly, I wouldn't be at all surprised if trying to get his tire up to limp home pressure makes him reconsider the priority that he's placed on pump size, and rightly so.
