You're wrong, and you're so stupid it's barely worth arguing. Wheel locking is only the limit when nothing else constrains the maximum deceleration. On a solo bicycle, the high centre of gravity and short wheelbase means that the thing will tip before it slides. Feel free to keep braking on dry Delugrip well past the point where tipping commences in your search for the slide which you seem so sure will be the limit, the resulting endo and face plant is unlikely to reduce your IQ any further.
