"I don't see Masters recommending recording at levels as high as
possible which is just as well, as that would make the recommendations
nonsense - so that must be your recommendation, 124 - baaad advice,

"As anyone who has ever made a recording knows, the ideal is to adjust
the level so that the peaks are as high as possible without going 'into
the red.' This will be high enough to minimize noise, but not so high
as to cause distortion."
