ReverseFlight,
I share your Thoughts! Did not understand why your post was such a big deal. But move on and keep the spirit like you've just said.
Regarding the residual braking procedure you have a brief note in FCOM 3.03.19 p8 at the bottom of the page.
"Note: Due to the accomplishment of the alternate braking functional test after the landing gear is downlocked, brief brake pressure indications may be observed on BRAKE PRESS indicator."
I was told if we have such indication we should hit the pedals.
I dunno if this was of any help but it was all I could find.
Regards.
