Are two bicycles necessary?

The front tire should have /at/ /least/ the same contact patch are as the rear, /if/ /not/ /more/. Why? I've never worried about this on any bike I've ever had, and I don't recall ever suffering as a result, so it comes over as rather more grounded in theory than practice. I don't see why the front tyre needs calibrating to the rear. It doesn't know what pressure the rear is running at or what the contact patch is: shirley whether it will skid or not is down to absolutes, not values relative to the back?
