It is true that adding power, with forced induction or not, increases cylinder pressures and may damage internals.

I can see what you're arguing.
I was basing it on theoretics to illustrate a basic point without getting into fluid dynamics as a whole.
As a basic principle: If you put an excessive flow rate in the intake circuit of a engine and said flow rate has a damaging effect on the engine, then it doesn't matter where said flow rate comes from (this was my point).
Now granted I didn't say that in the original post subsequently using pressure. Theoretically assuming that the maximum intake restriction after the throttle body (being the intake manifold, port, head) was left unaltered with similar intake tempatures. Obviously not real world case.
Is it absolutely correct... no. I was trying to keep it simple for the common man.
