Even you gospel, FLIGHT, says the early Merlin was ran at 22lb boost.

It's not my "gospel". I am just reading some of the source you guys hve provided and extract contradictory arguments.
If they didn't mention that beefing up the eng was necessary, isn't it more logical to think that it's due to the fact that no 100 oct was actually used as a prime source of fuel ?
