To add examples from the confusion:
During a curve, you maintain the best traction by maintaining pressure on both inside and outside tires as long as possible. When all weight gets suddenly transferred to the outside tire, you have less overall traction than if both rear tires were gripping). By slowing down weight transfer from inside to outside you get to smooth out this transfer and maintain pressure on both rear tires for longer.
That is true for HIGH traction surfaces because you want smooth transition into and out of corners and less twitchy less responsive car. However this is false to loamy tracks because it will cause an unresponsive car.
On high traction tracks, we are not as concerned with maximizing traction since there is plenty of it, and we can raise RC to have less chassis roll and take advantage of a more responsive car.
This is False, because high traction track within itself already causes very responsive car, you want to minimize response and smooth out the reaction. However its True that a higher RC can help decrease traction rolls but it also helps car become excessively responsive, unstable, and twitchy.
I was going to post this, but you beat me too it. My version was, "if more body roll always equals more traction, why don't we set up our chassis to go completely vertical while going around a turn?" An absurd situation like that always helps to make the point.
Right on!
There are Limits to everything.
