So the vacuum advance amount becomes less and less as the throttle is opened.

I was going to try and stay out of this misinformed topic, but if what you say is correct, why does one have to remove the vacuum source to set base timing at recommended curb idle?
Researching the Venturi Effect will also answer a few misconceptions regarding vacuum signals.
