Having the LSD helps to recover from a poor decision but if you try hard enough, no LSD will save you from the death plunge.

Just to throw this out there....after about 50K miles, the fluid in the stock VLSD (and just about all other VLSDs) looses its properties to a point where the LSD essentially becomes an open diff over time. All you LSD guys that have been driving for some time, you may be close to or already at open diff stage...you just haven't noticed

In any case your right having an LSD is not going to make you a safe driver it just may get you out of a few minor misjudgments but it definitely will not give you free reign to fling the car around at will.
