I don't measure my braking or cornering forces, what a silly question. But I see what you're doing.
The trigonometry problem I presented used numbers to illustrate that even when approaching the limits of traction, that
braking in a turn is safe.
But your argument tactic is clear. You select the fact that those numbers that aren't being measured to discredit braking in a turn as a safe technique. It didn't work.
"Why brake in the turn? If all braking is done before the turn, speed will be slower than necessary before the apex. Anticipating maximum speed for the apex is difficult, and because the path is not a circular arc, speed must be trimmed all the way to that point. Fear of braking in curves usually comes from an incident of injudicious braking at a point where braking should have been done with a gentle touch to match the conditions." -- Jobst Brandt
