As much as I hate to agree with him, for a 60kg rider on a stiff 6.8kg bike in the dry with top-end calipers, no luggage and a budget for replacement rims - aka a TdF rider or perhaps someone like @amey on a given day - yeah, he's right. You easily have enough power to hit the traction limit of your tyres.
Only an idiot would assume this applies to universally to all riders, all bikes, all rides, all weather.
