Traditionally,the most reliable stopping device was credited to the spoilers(weight on wheels),the brakes didn't on wet surfaces.
JAR's give credence to Reverse thrust in the WET runway scanario,due to their improved reliablity.
ergo if reversers are only effective at HIGH speed and the Brakes are optimum on DRY surfaces,don't the spoilers still win??
