lol, magic has pulled me up on this a number of times earlier .

I agree with him that it's not a max integral.
My point was that it lets me have more pop on the ground, while I can continue with my same cargo/shipping plans that I had for 25%. Just makes life a little easier.

When I'm going for max growth, I keep my pop between 25% to 32% even if I have factories built for 42/45/48% caps.

I was taking issue with this:

real top line is 42% as you found out

However as you noted, having a floating pop between 33%-42% is best and keeping to ur factories at 33% cap, so your factories don't idle in the migrant population zone.
From my phone

...which implied there was something special about 42%. There's not, besides the aforementioned coincidence. You certainly CAN hold there, and I've no issue with people preferring it for convenience, but it's not the "real top line". That's the 25%/33.33%/~50% holds. The OP's question was, after all, asking what was theoretically optimal about the 50% hold, not what hold is most convenient.
