We've been over the idea of an MBC in line with the CV ad nauseum. If you don't understand by now that having an MBC in-line with the CV is functionally no different than having the CV removed completely I don't know how else I can explain that.

Tell that to all the people who bought cars with ABS and started sliding through snowy intersections because the ABS couldn't read traction for ****. If you're depending on electronics yo save you, you're doing something very, very, very wrong.
