This not always the case. If you took a pen that weighted 10lb and tried to write with it you would have very little control. It's very easy to exceed the most sensitive range even if you have very strong hands.Logically even, if both brakes can lock the wheels then how can adding more power to the brakes slow you any quicker?! Bigger brakes can't increase the traction at the tyres, so it's just physically impossible. Adding power will just make it easier to lock the wheels and thus less easy to modulate the brakes.
Not all of the energy is in being dissipated by the tires traction limit. Locking the wheel is not the goal.
Finding the absolute threshold of traction repeatable and in the shortest amount of time is. Having a braking system that can do this makes you faster.
