The torque dip on the FA20 is ridiculous, yes, but it's not instantaneous. The S2000 VTEC switch is.
Let's say you're waiting to make a left turn at a light in your shiny new AP2. The light turns green and you enjoy driving. A lot. You accelerate somewhat briskly, maybe a bit more than half throttle, and you sweep through the VTEC crossover point right about mid corner. The car ends up sideways in a hurry. That's a whole lot more likely in an S2000 than it is in an 86.

+1. Happened to me except, i was accelerating less than half throttle, had cold tires, and the road was wet. I spun out on the street, crossed a concrete island and ended up on the other side of the road. Thank god no one was hurt, the car was okay and thank god it happened at 1 am.
