It tells me how they feel; what else do you think I need to know?

Why is everyone so analytical about this?

It's just about feel.

And, if you look at the caliper while squeezing the lever you can see how much it flexes and even compare it to others.
Feel free to bring your micrometer if you wish... :rolleyes:
