I'm not so sure if that is a technically correct description. A normal open differential splits the torque 50/50 at all times, that's it's problem - that when a wheel breaks traction it is still getting a 50% of torque - and without any resistance to that force, it spins up like all hell.

No, he was correct; a single spinner transfers 100% of the torque to the wheel which has lost traction. If this wasn't the case, the car would still accelerate with one wheel spinning, and anyone who's done a one-wheel skid in the wet will tell you that isn't the case!

LSD's rule, but if you don't know what it is or what it does you definitely don't need one.
