SO, according to your research, the TOTAL assistance  provided by the 
power brakes calculates to a 72% decreased pressure-
feel coming  from the booster, meaning that almost (72% extra) twice the 
effort is required to stop a manual braked car?

That's a lot, when you think of it.

We've all got stories of having gotten used to a manual brake system 
(really putting our foot into the brake pedal) and then
hitting the brakes on a power-boosted car!

I don't know if it's just Farts, but, my parents had a 65 Galaxie 500 
convertible, and I also drove a 73-ish Continental,
and both cars had very-numb feeling power brake systems.

The power-assisted (mine, anyway) FWDLK'er has (had) a very nicely 
modulated power brake system.
