Just because anti-lock brakes fail to work in all scenarios doesn't mean they're not still an improvement.
Lemmy is still up for most people. That is resilience. If you are affected by this outage, then it failed for you in this particular case but that doesn't mean the mechanisms don't exist and that they won't work to your advantage in the future.
I get your analogy.
But are there situations where ABS is less effective than a standard braking system?
In racing.
ABS works in all scenarios.
