Hmmmm, I wouldn't say that is always true. "Too much" is relative to the amount of traction the tire has. In the case of low traction, "too much" is achievable by even the newest of riders.

Left vs. right, think about that for a minute. If in a panic and one grabs the front brake and becomes stiff on the bars, what else are they doing to the bars and how does that effect where the bike goes? So why does the rear get out of sorts (left or right) instead of just doing a stoppie? Still think you can predict which way the bike will fall?
