Default So why is over 250 bad?

OK, car noob here. I am trying to understand what is considered good and what is considered bad. I read most of this thread and I see people posting various temps under various conditions. I must say that I can replicate much of what is reported, i.e. 220 with normal street driving, etc.

But every once in a while, I see what appears to be posts that go unchallenged that say 250 or greater = BAD.

What is the objective basis for this "> 250 = BAD" statement? Is there a document from Nissan or some other recognized credible source that indicates that > 250 in the 370Z is bad or is this general automotive common sense (which I have none of I admit - this is why I am asking).

Thanks all - looking forward to insightful responses.
