Not gonna prove you wrong.  I love to watch around here when the roads get icy, and all the guys with trucks with part - time 4WD try to motor around with the front and back hard locked together.  It's usually a trip to the ditch.

Yes and all of the above is just fine when you have traction on a asphalt road, then all LSD or lockers will release due to the frictions the tires have to the surface, however on a snowy or icey road your traction will be minimal and the tires will have no friction to the surface.
So what will happend ? the LSD will not release but lock up, and belive me, you will not be able to make that turn.

Please prove me wrong :)
