The fact is, whatever it looks like on paper is never applied correctly in the real world.

Again, you're missing my point. Of course you're going to exceed the peak at times. The point is that those tires show the result of *consistently* over-driving them and over-heating them in the center of the tread face -- over-inflated and over-driven.

What I stated about theory though is 100% correct. It doesn't mean that one doesn't exceed the peak at times since that is what extracting maximum performance requires, what it does mean is that if you consistently over-drive your tires, you are destroying them for no good reason.

We're probably on the same wavelength here, just miscommunicating.

I was just trying to share what I've learned in 40 years of experience autocrossing and tracking tires...
