Sailivi767,
The (Boeing) reference, slides and quotes were for general info.

No confusion with anti skid.

The main difference in the thread debate is with the mode of operation of an auto-brake system; those functions with auto-brake modulation for landing, i.e. max auto (which is less than max manual); and an RTO function without modulation where the applied brake pressure (maximum) does not differ between auto and manual.

The differences in RTO technique, auto/manual have been debated - refer to manufactures advice and check the small print re performance, and any change with technique.

There may be confusion if some aircraft refer to anti-skid as being ‘modulated’ - (it is) - choice of words; also if modern auto-brake and anti-skid systems are fully integrated.

The after-comments re ABS, reverse, and slippery runways relate to modulated systems during landing - general info.

The wording in the OP question (not manufacturers) may have mistaken the difference between Max and RTO, as above.
