According to Schwalbe: "The widespread thumbtest method is very inaccurate, as all tyres will feel identically hard from a pressure of approx. 2 bar up.
"The thumb test is completely insufficient for Marathon Plus tyres due to the special puncture belt."

So it comes down to who knows more about Schwalbe tyres, some random bloke on the internet or the manufacturer.

Well, Schwalbe are obliged to warn every dunderhead. The puncture guard isn't in the side of the tyre where you press it to test the pressure, so yes, looks like the bloke on the internet is right this time, rather than the one that takes what he read on the internet at face value rather than understanding what it means, and is therefore probably at the thick end of the dunderhead spectrum, like I mentioned above.

Fine, no doubt you know best.
