And yes I know it "portions" the pressure front to rear but being old school I can feel when the brakes are going to lock up and if you drive looking down the road you are never in that position.

If that front valve is seized up likely you will be leaving some braking potential off the table. And it is not the stuff that you can see that is the issue it's the stuff you can't see or predict mostly related to the other idiots on the road.

I have also raced cars (road race) & 4x4's off road (like score) so I think I have it little more under control than the average driver but you might be right.
