Put it this way. When TCS is on, and you stomp on the gas from a stop, you got a ton of wheelspin, but the car doesn't go anywhere. It's not the brakes that's not causing you not to move, it's the inability for the differential to apply the power correctly.
I think he is trying to say that TCS might be applying the brake to the wheel with the least traction to shift torque to the opposite wheel. (sometimes called electronic limited slip diff?) But regardless, that is not my understanding of how TCS works on these cars.
