Excellent advice.

It is all about ride. Most want a smoother ride. It is not suspension or wear.

As for using 32 psi on the rear tires, that's actually an easy way to get more rear grip and reduce the chance of oversteer. Plus, it probably makes the ride a little better.
Exactly, the 35 in the front helps make steering a bit sharper and 32 in the rear helps grip
