You look it up. In fact, how about you clearly state what exactly you don't disagree with? There isn't much proving that lowering the weight causes injuries, although some do state that. I have been more than fine for decades.
Many people do lighter dead lifts (and I certainly don't mean light, but you know what I mean) for an assortment of reasons, and often they bring the weight down. My gym doesn't allow drops either, so there is that.
I am perfectly fine doing sets of ten.
You are certainly freaking out about a bunch of stuff that I am being very uncontroversial about.
