I guess I better go with the more technical reply after my little, "When I was a lad" episode.
The reason not to overfill the oil of an engine is mostly about the oil getting above the level of the bottom of the crank when the engine is running. In this case the oil will be airated by the crank and turn to foam rather than a nice pumpable liquid, this is where the problem comes from. The level of foam gets worse and worse and eventually there is no liquid oil to pump and lubricate your bearings, and you end up spinning a bearing or several.
This is by far the more problematic symptom rather than having a bit of oil come out of the dipstick or burn some oil from it being forced up past the rings.
