So, we can't change any variable in 885140 to create O with less than or =to 
75r/25f? According to Scott Fisher, tire loading affects slip angles.  
Doesn't that mean indeed a torsen *can* oversteer at 75r/25f?  What does 
"...because in the chassis, it's mostly understeer" mean?  I interpret 
"mostly" to mean that it *can* be oversteer.  Yes?  Under what dynamic 
conditions *can* that be, Dave?

I'm trying really hard to understand your position.  If I misunderstand a 
torsen, please correct me, please avoid any confusion by specifically 
addressing what *can't* happen in my bite scenario in a TORSEN differential?  
Trying to make me understand a locker (and I'm pretty sure I do) isn't going 
very far, cuz I disagree with the *facts* as you present them.  So, I 
advocate we stick to the torsen, 'then' you can help me understand the 
fundamentals of the locker.  Can you explain the exact quote in 885140 that I 
misinterpreted in my bite scenario?  The paper presents my argument exactly.  
So either, the paper is wrong, or I misinterpreted the paper.  Remember the 
paper and my presentation lack any claims of a locked center diff.

Thanks for helping me out Dave.
