You are correct. I am not talking about stupid drivers that overuse their brakes and require runaway truck ramps, because you can't fix stupid.
I guess the fact we still have runaway truck ramps has proven technology has not overcome driver stupidity?

BTW, drums expanding from HT does not reduce braking force by itself on properly adjusted brakes, and it's a factor not worth mentioning in this discussion.

What I believe is not of great importance here vs what is fact and logically proven.
