I screwed my hooks into the floor and hang my bike standing up to keep from ruining it.

If bikes can stand +300lb riders riding them and hitting cracks,potholes,rocks,curbs.
Hanging a 15 - 35+ lb bike almost anyway you want won't hurt it.
I bet tying a string to 1 spoke and hanging it would even be ok.
Tying a string to the front shifter brake cable and hanging it,
probably should not be considered (I did say almost).

Does this not imply if I keep my tire pressure up and when I re hang it isn't always at the same spot on the wheel I should be just fine even if I believed it? (LOL Sorry rabbit, quoted and didn't look close)

Never ask a Jehovah's Witness what chainlube they use. You'll end up in an unnecessary fist fight.

The unprovable topics generate the most heat by far - tyre pressures, puncture reduction, chain lube, whether you should use valve caps, which side the front brake should be on. People assign too much of their sense of self worth to their choices in these things and then seek reassurance through convincing others to copy them. Same as a lot of religious door knockers.
