when ABS fires prematurely (think hitting a big pothole when braking hard on dry pavement to make that ramp you're almost missing at 80 mph)

I'd argue that rather than your ABS firing prematurely that perhaps your brain cells have been firing late. If you're not with it enough to avoid a pothole then perhaps you shouldn't be driving that fast. If you're not with it enough to notice your exit early enough to make it safely then perhaps you shouldn't be driving at all.
Of course, I'd never do anything like that. But my point is that you should never expect your cars safety systems to dig you out of shit that you willingly and knowlingly put yourself into. So I make that 4598 for and 0 against.
