That's engineering fact....
Try some real math and science:
How much do heavy duty trucks damage pavement?
It's one of those pesky "scientifically observed" "exponential" mathematical multipliers, even though the mass on the axle loading is only increasing "arithmetically"... That crazy Newton might have been on to something....?
That "opinion" you seem to have, that this is his "opinion", is actually really just your unfortunately uninformed "opinion" "Dude"...
