I don't understand why nobody will acknowledge the fact that, theoretically, if a tire is already at 100% corning load then there is no room left for braking or accelerating. That's a really basic fact which is the root of this argument. Practical or not, it is a fact, so why has it not been acknowledged?
This argument has gotten ridiculous on both sides. How about we get back to the basics. If a tire is holding 100% corning load at a steady speed and steering input, there's no room for anything else. But if you slow down while maintaining that steering input it will have an effect and the car will probably dig deeper - because you slowed down the tire is no longer at 100% cornering load. If you had maintained 100% cornering load while slowing down, by turning ever sharper as you slow, there would still be no room for any further acceleration in either direction. Pretty simple.
