Do you know this for a fact? Have you conducted instrumented and repeatable tests? And do you really want to experience the result of being wrong on this one?

And the flip side is that reducing the amount of glue in order to reduce the amount of adhesion is a dangerous and extremely inexact game. How much does he reduce it by? How does he know when he's reduced it enough but not too much? And is the trade-off of easier removal really worth the gamble with his -- and your, if you're ever behind him -- hide?

No thanks. I'll pass on the whole affair. My tires were always glued on to the best of my ability, and that's the way I liked it. It's really not difficult to remove a tire with a round-shaft screwdriver without damaging anything, and in fact, back in the day of shellac for track riding, the screwdriver was the accepted method so as to preserve the carefully built-up rim bed.
