I don't buy it. Disc brakes even if they can get the weight down, are impractical for road bikes. Mud/dirt/grime isn't an issue road riding vs. mtb, for cyclocross for sure there are benefits same as for an mtb. Road tires are way skinny and contact patch to the ground is minimal. You can have gobs of braking power, but if your tires break traction that braking power is useless and even dangerous
