Are you kidding? You really think a stock valve spring with over 100k miles has the same tension and resilience as a new spring? It's called wore out.....think about it. A wore out valve spring will 'bottom out' or not return to its original position more easily than a new stocker...Some never come back to the OEM free length ever so it's shorter than stock. Same idea as wore out coil springs that cause a car to sag and bottom out easily.
And I never state my opinions as fact...I just provide data as to what I feel would be a good choice. But, in the end it all comes down to the user. They don't have to listen to me...but there are others that believe the same as I do. Why push the edge when you can be safe?
No one here is a complete guru as you put it. But, I feel i'm rather knowledgable and have plenty of creditials and experience to back it up. What exactly in your book defines a guru? And why the need to come into a 'helpful' post with data and numbers just to bash on me? Do I know you? Or better yet, do you know me? Doubt it.
