I'm agreeing with you regarding consistent surfaces and average driving conditions. But on snow, gravel, they aren't my theories. It's what happens with primitive ABS and has been covered ad nauseum by the motoring press. If you haven't driven one of these abortions you aren't missing anything. My 94 Grand Cherokee is an example of one that's nice in some situations and a terror in others, hence the disconnect. Newer systems are much better at allowing enough slip to generate buildup. In the early 90's tales of people driving their new cars down their gravel driveway and through their garage door were commonplace. It didn't help that people were still getting used to trusting the system instead of modulating on their own. Driver and ABS working against each other is the worst possible combination.
-An ABS fan. Honest.
