Ending the attack is part of their problem. And yes, damage is part of what the OP was talking about also.
They are not "my" measurements dear sir, they are the property of Animal Planet and several individuals that carried out the research.

As for your erronous but arrogant conclusion about which breed wouldn't let go, they will all hold on sir. I know from personal experience of 20 years training Rotts, that they will hold a bite until they drop from exhaustion or they are released. I also know that the GSDs they are measured against will also.

I think the point that you are trying to make is that pits are known to "latch" on and not let go. Well sir so are JRT's it is one of the traits highly desirable in a terrier. As a side note this thread was not about Pits, it was about Staffodshire terriers, and Yes Virginia there is a difference.
