The way you and most others are phrasing comments like that is a window into your thought process.

The bad thing is people believing that it will always be able to do that. The truth is that it can't. None of these systems can create more tire grip than exists between the tires and the road surface.

What they can do is make better overall use of however much grip is available. But you can still exceed system capability to correct if you're clumsy or careless enough or going fast enough.
