Knife, some systems are better than others. Some do a great job even compared to an excellent driver at full attention. Other systems might do a better job than a good driver who's distracted. Some do a completely horrible job, either all the time or on some surfaces in certain conditions. If you've experienced weird ABS behavior - erratic, or like the brakes are out while you push your feet through the floorboards - it can be hard to trust it again. I completely disabled ABS on my Jeep after too many close calls when a lumpy road unsettled it. Doesn't mean I don't love the new generations used in better vehicles.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
