If you can put your foot down while stopped, your saddle is too low and that alone can cause knee pain.

Here is what I actually said:
Now let me guess... Your tippy-toe nonsense qualifies as stable footing in your mind right?
I never gave any advice. In fact, you guys did by saying a rider could not touch the ground while seated.
The excerpt from your post, that Jeff Neese confirmed: "
If your bike is properly fitted then you should not be able to reach the ground with either foot while still seated in the saddle." This advice suggests and infers the OP should raise his saddle height.
I never recommended anybody to perform this maneuver, but I have done it for fifty years without any issues.
Perhaps you should re-read your narrative in the morning with a clear mind.
