How was the 5 lbs measured ?

As an ex Torque Control Engineer (Desoutter / Georges Renault) I feel the
tests would be more relevant using a range of braking forces from light
to as much as possible, commensurate with the force a human hand can
exert ...

This is, I believe' in the 100-200lb range and consistent with panic
braking.

I'd suggest it may well be more than that .. and there should, if using good
engineering principles, be a large margin for error.

IMHO all bike equipment has to cope well with maxima.

And beyond ...
