question from naive spectators' balcony

- Given no thrust reversers available,
- Given slippery runway, i.e. braking action not limited by available brake pressure but but available vertical force on the wheels,
- Given that the elevator application were not so large that you would end up lifting the front wheel,
Then:
Wouldn't you get more braking by applying some back stick?
The force vectory diagram says so.
bm.
Scotty! Divert all power to the force shields!
