Going to put in my 2 cents.
To lubricate bearing, the oil needs to hold the two pieces of metal apart. This depends on the oil, molecular strength, temp etc. Pressure has nothing to do with it. BUT, enough pressure must be there to deliver oil to all parts of the engine and enough volume to cool the parts. In a low pressure engine, with a good pump, some places might not get enough. So his rule of thumb sounds OK to me. I'm not too good with words, so hope my wording is taken like I mean and not picked apart.
