High Volume vs Standard Volume Oil Pump

I've never owned a non-mopar and used to run HV pumps all the time. I raced on the highway over distance - never used a deep pan, or overfilled the stocker, and a couple engines had no windage tray and were maintaining 130mph and 5500rpm. I've never sucked a pan dry even with wide (worn) bearing clearances. There are literally tens of thousands of engines running the HV pumps and stock pans/pickups that get run hard for more than 10, 30, or 500 seconds. I have to wonder considering the numbers how much truth there is to "suck the pan dry". I don't buy it.
