Sorry, but this is wrong.  The free play is there to assure that the 
brakes release completely every time.  It has nothing to do with 
uneven braking, everything to do with avoiding overheating brakes.  
Of course, one could worry about the possibly uneven braking that 
overheated brakes might give, but that would be ignoring the larger 
problem to concentrate on a rather trivial detail.
