Well, each to his own, chaqu'un a son gout!
My take is that the back brake needs more pressure because it's less efficient and the longer cable causes more friction.

No, the back brake needs less pressure because the maximum before skidding is well under half the maximum front brake pressure before tipping. Use your strong hand for the brake which is actually stopping you.

Interesting, I feel the opposite way for the same reason. I prefer to have my dominant hand on the front brake which requires more precision and power.
