I think there is a bunch of confusion here.
Having all balls the same size in diameter would lead to different levels of inflation.
Having all balls inflated to the same PSI would lead to different sizes, in diameter.

Simply put the tolerances on there balls are not +/-.0000000001 There is no way to have all these balls be the same size and same pressure.
The rules state nothing about ball pressure, but they do state an approximate size. And assuming that all of the covers are approximately the same size the balls should be inflated to around the same size according to the inflation guide. So there is no argument backing pressures since the rules state nothing about it.
