Then the Pis silent and we've all been saying it wrong this whole time.

Nah, englishers just lack the skill.

In greek, the p is loud in pterodactyl and psychology.

Saiki for psyche, psh, that's 1/6 letters read correctly. Or with greek letters, that's 0/4 (ψυχή).

It's a more subtle P sound though, blended into the next consonant. Omitting it is the lesser of two evils compared to saying "putterodactyl"

The piss is never silent. There is always the clattering sound.

If you are a penis owner and piss from the standing position, you can arc the stream just so down the smooth porcelain interior of the toilet bowl, letting the piss flow neatly into the water making nary a sound

True, but I'll typically get more splashback that way than if going straight down the middle.
