Why on the street? 3 reasons...
1 - if you do a track day, chances are you're not gonna change fluid after the race, maybe before but usually not after.
2 - There's ZERO harm in running better fluid on the street
3 - It's like $4 a pint more for ATE fluids than DOT3 crap ($8 more for RBF) - if you're that cheap you need to drive a Corolla.
His point eliminates track use. I don't disagree with the other two points, but it's not at all required. If people are generating enough heat to boil fluid on the street then they are doing something wrong.
