a tire, no matter on which end of the wheel can only do 100% of 1 thing, do you want to stop, go or turn? you cannot stop and turn at the same time and expect 100% stop and turning. To me what some pro-awd people thinks that the front driving wheels somehow negate this fact and let the front tires perform @ 125%

Don't waste your time on this. The people arguing with you do not understand the physics and do not want to understand the physics. They simply want to argue their autocross experiences, which are all well below the cornering limits because they are not (probably cannot) be skilled enough to keep the tires at the cornering limits at all times. This is also due to widely varying friction conditions on a millisecond basis.
The only way to make the argument is on dry pavement with constant friction. If they agree to discuss with that as a premise, then the physics can be applied uniformly and the answer will be obvious.
Anything else is a waste of time.
