lets say flow rate remains the same between two different pressures, say 1 bar and 2 bar. wouldnt 2 bar provide better wear protection?


No, just cause more wear and tear on components.

as long as the oil doesnt exceed its tempreture limits and cause a fail that way, wouldnt 2 bar at a slower rate of flow be better than 1 bar at a faster flow?


No, bearings care about quantity of oil flowing, not the feed pressure, which is limited only by the incoming port size. you use the correct pressure to get you the flow you need, not vice versa.

i cant test my flow, all i have to go on is what the little pressure gague on my dial says and how the car feels. my only real argument is that it hasnt exploded or gotten worse, its gotten better. the most compelling thing is that my oil pressure has reverted back to a much lesser millage example of the same engine


Yes, and as we know it hasn't magically repaired the wear and tear on the bearings or the oil pump, that means it's building up pressure the only other way possible - restricting the flow somehow.
