In a modern (<10 year old) car I question the "pro driver" result. I've been looking for data on this, and haven't seen anything that says this is true, but have seen the opposite.
In the past, this was likely true when ABS systems weren't able to control individual wheels. They can do that today, can check for wheel lock-ups and react dozens of times a second, and can therefore compensate for changing grip at different parts of the road during the entire stopping process.
In formula 1, where ABS has been banned, drivers have the capability to manually adjust brake balance (front/back and left/right) which they can do for each corner - so in this scenario it is true but only because they are given an advanced control, practice it over and over for the specific corner, and aren't allowed to use ABS to begin with.
