The MDM does no such thing...

Of course it can lol.
As dparm mentioned, there are many scenarios where MDM or similar DSC systems will come into play that would inspire driver confidence compared to having the systems fully off. Particularly where lack of proper technique comes into play.
In dogbones analysis of MDM he also noted that it's intervening without the light on the dash flickering. MDM is
constantly applying small amounts of brake pressure and at times power cuts to keep the car under control while exhibiting small or minimal intervention.
The whole nature of these types of systems is to inspire confidence and keep the car under control (which also enhances confidence) when driving at or past the limit. Next time you have a wet track day do a session with MDM on and halfway through switch everything off - I bet you'll feel more confident in the car pushing around a wet track with MDM on then with everything off.. It might not be faster but you can be soooo much more aggressive knowing the systems are there to save you.
