You can live with your false sense of security, by all means, I've never had TC, and never had an accident, and if I eventually have an accident... well, bad luck.

It doesn't matter how "you" drive in his scenario, and your "experiences" are of no consequence. You're not even relevant in the first 350ms or so. Your body simply cannot react in time, and you can't control individual wheels even if you could figure out which ones and how much correction to apply.
You're driving a car that was *designed* to be tail-happy with TC/VSC turned off, and its great fun under controlled conditions where you won't kill yourself or anyone else when you lose it. Its foolish and irresponsible to drive it that way in traffic on public highways in bad weather.
Engineering students - I was one 30 years ago - often have an unearned smugness about their ability to control their universe. Seasoned engineers know from experience that unanticipated events occur, that our senses and brain and muscles are slow to respond, that human attention and focus are variable, and that good margins are a good thing.
Good luck with the degree. Write us back in ten years or so.
