How many drivers with anti-lock brakes remember to pump them instead of slamming them through the floor board.

Um.....

Isn't the point of anti-lock brakes that you slam them through the floor board and they pump themselves?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh

That's the point. With anti-lock brakes, you don't need to remember to pump them; the vehicle's computer does that for you.

That means that the object is able to work around the human's flaws.

It's called an "analogy". Check it out. They're sometimes useful.

Again, find a nice icy road...or better yet an empty parking lot...and try it.  You skid nicely all the while those brakes are "pumping."

Yes, and airplanes crash, too. I don't see the point of arguing over an analogy. I prefer not letting the perfect be the enemy of the better.
