I disagree with the theory.

When pulling a trailer, especially highway, truck and trailer spends most of the time oriented in a straight position where antisway can most benefit.

On more rural roads, slower roads, heading to a campground/state park, sway isn't an issue.

Another words, antisway is much more beneficial at speed and where trucks are passing or being passed

What exactly do you disagree with? Speed wasn't even brought up.

I still don't understand what you disagree with.

Sway forces were brought up and they're more prominent in a straight line with the DC.....straight line would indicate roads with higher speed limits.
Sway control is a non issue at slower speeds
on winding roads at slower speeds in my experience.

Ok let's dumb it down.
Sway issues, dog wagging the tail, loss of control of trailer is ONLY done at speed where other large vehicles have influence over control......speed is a major player.
If we we were all on backroads then all WDH companies would never exist, easy enough?

I still don't get your point. One would never get a road hazard caused flat if one stayed parked all the time either.
Obviously the goal is to be able to travel while avoiding sway.
A glance at any map shows that roads are anything but straight. So curves MUST be negotiated.
The original friction sway control bars all come with a warning: "Disconnect in rain or slippery conditions." This because in some situations the control can prevent the negotiation of a turn. with that system, disabling the sway control leaves the WD function intact. One cannot seperate the sway control from the WD functions with any of the integtreted sway control hitches... Yet they are able to negotiate turns without problems in slippery conditions....This gives a clue as to just how much anti sway forces are present.

I can't imagine why anyone would unhook a WDH in rain, not heard that before.
The hitch itself does more than mitigate sway,setup properly it returns weight to front axle which in my mind, would be safer in Slick road conditions.
My Reese loses everything without trunnion bars.
