That's just a super classy answer sweetheart. I bet you have never actually ridden down hills in the rain.
Number one, you seem to have no grasp of how a rolling vehicle actually stops, if you think the wheels are supposed to stop before the center of mass does.
Number two, don't try to change the discussion to be about carbon rims all of a sudden. You were claiming a certain kind of brake was superior and then used faulty arguments as to why. Try to find some better arguments instead.
Number three, what you are claiming to feel isn't even the effect of the brake or the "rotor", it's the effect of the hydraulics.

stopping on a rainy decent will be much more safe than on rimbrakes.
when riding in the wet, because your wheel will stop, but that does not mean you won't start sliding when your wheel locks up and your tire loses grip.
You are contradicting yourself.
No.
Braking on carbon rims (or even some alloy rime sfor that matter) in the rain at high speed wont stop your wheel turning in time to come to a standstill.
Braking using discbrakes will. However, the way you brake determines the way you stop. So it is up to the rider to use all that braking power with some common sense, which in turn will increase the safety of it.
Don't be an idiot. You know what I meant from the first time you read that post.
