[s-cars] Torsen and EDL (was: EDL Vs. Manual Diff Lock)

>Jeremy, my personal suggestion is to buy a 95.5 with EDL and then install a
Torsen.

the benefits of Torsen with EDL, I can forward to anyone interested.

After applying a little knowledge and logic, which can of course be
dangerous, this doesn't make sense to me.  Wouldn't the EDL and Torsen work
against each other?  Here's what I figure: (1) A rear wheel slips.  (2)
Torsen wants to transfer torque to the wheel with traction. (3) EDL detects
the slip and starts braking the slipping wheel. (4) Torsen doesn't know the
difference between traction and EDL braking, so it transfers more torque to
the slipping wheel, fighting the EDL. (5) EDL sees the wheel slipping more
and brakes it harder, encouraging the Torsen to send more torque, and so
forth.

Am I missing something obvious here?
