This is some of the most bass-ackwards thinking I've come across in quite a while!
If the alternator cannot provide enough current and the battery has to take up the slack, your electrical system has serious problems and needs to be rectified. As someone has already pointed out, such a situation would result in flat batteries all over the place - but strangely enough, that simply doesn't happen!
I might add that whenever there is current moving from the battery to the alternator (ie the battery is providing power to the electrical system because the alternator can't keep up), the "charge" light on your dash lights up immediately. That is its function - it lets you know when the alternator isn't doing its job. But guess what, my charge light doesn't come on under any conditions when the engine is running. Just as you would expect really.
As for car batteries measuring 13 volts across the terminals - in which parallel universe does this occur? I've put a voltmeter on many a car battery and never seen such a thing! Yours must be special I guess.
So tell me more about your l337 qualifications...
