The scary part here is that a car with less progressive behavior (more linear up to higher limits) is the car that will be more likely to catch a less experienced driver out as he approaches its limits (either intentionally or otherwise). Linear behavior encourages faster/harder driving because it continues to feel like there's plenty of grip remaining, that you're still "completely stuck down" . . . until (all of a sudden) there isn't and you aren't.
Too much emphasis was read into the numbers in Jack's 65/63/64 cornering speed illustration. For less track-experienced drivers, he could just as well have used 70/60/65.
