Actually we are both right. That's not what it's for, but as a side effect it can. Your main objection seems to be that if folk think of ABS as a way of braking faster, they'll consume this as a performance benefit. They do indeed. It's like telling people a helmet will save their life. It could conceivably happen, but that's not what it's designed for and you shouldn't rely on it. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
