I'd say there's no point to keep trying to explain this. Looks like talking to a brick wall to be honest. No way we're going to change his opinion or make him understand why he's wrong, no matter how many examples, pictures we post.
Against my own advice, I'll explain again my main reason for not backing into parking spots:
If you're between two above average size cars and you're backed in, when you leave the spot, you have to pull forward completely blind almost half the car length until your face passes the cars parked left and right. Only then you will see if other cars/bikes/pedestrians run around with your car already half way out. This should be so obvious, I cannot understand how some of you keep saying that backing into parking spots is safer. This scenario assumes there's no wide angle camera in the nose of your car and there is a backup camera (of course almost all cars are like this).
I really have to learn to stop feeding the trolls...
Absolutely true as well. Not going to feed, either.
