I would hazard a guess that veneer to substrate joint doesn't require nearly the strength that an edge joint in a panel needs. As someone else pointed out, the author was making the claim that in order to get MAXIMUM adhesion (even though it may not be necessary), those clamping pressures were recommended. He didn't say that anything less would lead to immediatle self distruction of the piece.
I wonder if clamping pressure is at all correlated with glue creep?
