I flew 737400 for 4 years, Airbus A306 now. Sure enough you have seen what is written on the Boeing FCTM abou autobrake, no choice but to agree with that - rite?
However, I personally believe that no matter how perfect the condition is, Autobrake still doing me favor by providing that initial deceleration upon touchdown while we are busy flying the nose wheel down to the runway. That doesent seem alot of distance, but actually it is.
Respectfully,
