I agree. Just have to bear in mind that the calculation is an estimate based on various parameters and assumptions. For example they have to make assumptions about your tyre compound and construction. It's worth checking your tyre manufacturer's pressure guide too, as the better ones have detailed recommendations for their specific tyre variants.
