You'll likely have someone express a different view on that but I agree. It even helps with a counterweighted crank shaft. I run 25 psi to the middle main bearing on my touring engine (inserted bearings and full flow filter) which has amazed others with how well it goes and for how long it has been doing it. IMO, opinion are nice but you can't argue with reality.
