I really hope that you are right! But... I still think that it is a bit premature to call it a success! You really need to test under conditions where ABS is activated! Even if you try panic stops on a dirt road, would be better than just driving it aound under non-slip conditions.
But I will agree with you that just because some book tells you that they are incompatible, it does not mean that it isn't "close enough" to work.
It is easy to activate ABS. I have and its pulsing was felt.
