I understand that my fingers needed calibrating but never found that to be an advantage which is why I moved
away from hydraulics. As for the definition, “modulation” is not what I would call the action of hydraulic brakes. Trying to “
regulate by or adjust to a certain measure or proportion“ something that is extremely touch and goes from off to on with very little input is the very opposite of “modulate”. Hydraulics are powerful brakes but that power has no regulation in my experience. I can actuate a cable brake from just a little slowing to full on stopped without having to think about how much lever power I’m putting into the system. I never experienced that with hydraulics.
