Think of it as putting diff lock in a center diff of a 1/8th scale buggy, or running a Slash 4x4 without the optional center differential,
hmmm if the spur gear is not attached to the pulley that drives the front than it will still slip if the slipper slips. by pinning the front pulley to the shaft it connects the front and the rear together so that the slipper equally slips to the front and rear. it seems to me that if you want to lock the front down and allow slippage to the rear only then you must pin the front pulley to the spur gear so that they are 1:1 at all times. i believe this is how Craig explains it and it seems correct to me.
