That's interesting. Can you describe a real life typical cycling mission where that is valid?
Second point, by "sufficient", I mean able to lock the wheel (obviously not what you want to do, but it indicates that the brake system is able to take full advantage of the available traction). So there is no performance advantage, per se, between two braking systems, both capable of locking the wheels.
I suppose one could in bring arguments about modulation and hand fatigue, but that would take a scientific test to tease out any meaningful performance difference, in terms of "more time going and less time stopping". And then we're definitely in a scenario where braking is a very significant part of the mission, in terms of energy, which I doubt is relevant for the majority of cyclists and their riding.
