Not sure how his system works, but think about this. When sliding in 2wd, you steer into the slide to gain control. Anyone that has a 4wd vehicle knows the two handle differently. So, had he been steering into a slide, and traction control kicked it turning it into 4wd, the vehicle would have then started pulling in the direction of the slide, making it even worse.
Personally the first time I had a vehicle with antilock brakes that activated it just about made me crash into the car I was trying my best to avoid. I guess when I hit the brakes in preparation to swerving to avoid the idiot that slammed on brakes, made a hard right turn into a lot, and then stopped with the back half of the car still in the road, the braking system sensed it, and along came antilock. Instead of being able to swerve, the brakes activating on their own tried to pull me back straight. I missed the other car by maybe half a hair when I should have missed him by half a mile.
Ultimately I don't trust any of the new technology, if for no other reason than it causes people to completely rely on a machine that may fail at any moment, leaving them woefully unprepared to handle an issue on their own should the machine have a problem of it's own.
