Totally agree with your post and also your buddy's point, though a little less. All in all, your own experience and comfort on snow goes way farther than your equipment in keeping you safe. As it is, most people consume the added safety margin of things like ABS, traction control, and snow tires anyway and drive at the same level they would in nicer weather.
Now, summers in snow may be a bit silly, but I grew up driving a light FWD wagon without so much as antilock breaks in Maine winter. Yeah, I'd rather have traction control, ABS, and AWD, but it's perfectly manageable if you're smart about it.
