That's kind of an obvious statement, it's like saying braking is 100% affected by the speed you are going. But we wouldn't attribute good braking to slow speed, nor should we attribute good braking to contact between the tire and the road. If we hydroplane and can't stop, we don't blame the brakes themselves, right?
