Both AvE and Torque Test Channel have tested 12-point tools to perform well above the torque needed to break a 6-point fastener, as long as it's a decent quality tool with a decent fit and the nut/bolt isn't already rounded, damaged, or rusted to hell.
So if you're using good tools on good bolts, there's little need to worry about the 6-point/12-point debate, and there are times that 12-point may be necessary or make things easier. But if you've got a poor fit on a damaged fastener, 6-point will increase your chances of success.
I agree with your comments however I still think 6 point is the way to go for sockets. Sure there are a small series of events where 12 point is needed but we are talking about the other 95 percent of the time. One major thing a lot of tests seem to ignore IMO, is the cheap quality of steel used in many nuts and bolts today especially from places like China or even worse India! I would rather have the additional contact areas provided by a 6 point for those cheaper quality fastener heads. Nothing is more frustrating then having a rounded-off fastener especially in a limited space location! In summary all my 12 point sockets purchased when I began tool accumulation 30+
Years ago remain neatly in their holders in my tool box because I never reach for them over a 6 point socket.
