If you don't have specific problems with protein build up or allergies, you would probably be OK, but really it is something you should discuss with your eye care professional (ECP). I don't see any problem challenging or questioning anything the ECP says, so that you fully understand and agree with what they are saying and that it makes sense. In this case, what would/could happen if you wore the lenses 25% longer.

That 25% longer policy sounds good. I don't think that this would really happen, but I wouldn't want someone to go into a full-on panic attack if they should wake up in the morning and realize that they forgot to take their daily disposable contacts out.
