Randall,
Good point! It is entirely possible to "improve" the brakes to the point of
creating a death trap. Some of us "older" folks remember some of the early
versions of power brakes. In some cases, they were so sensitive that even
your dear old grandma could hit them hard enough to lock up the wheels, even
at "granny" speeds.
