I mean, I don't fly them (or any other transport category aircraft), but my interpretation is that they may have just dumbed it down. The question is; in a normal x-bleed start, presumably there wouldn't really be any other bleed consumers on... so the supply and demand side pressures, at least prior to initiating the start should be pretty close to the same, shouldn't they? If so, maybe they just dumbed it down a little - it may be sufficient to just look at supply side... Even if demand side is technically more correct.
