Understanding the Selector Switch

[web35]

Intuition tells me that 0 slip, position #1, on the selector switch, would result in the maximum timing retard to reduce power in a high acceleration situation so that the fromt wheels and the rear wheels are the same or at least attempting to be the same speed. My many internet searches do not confirm this. Can someone explain this so that even I can understand? A link would also help if something already exists.

I have studied this but it doesn’t answer my question.
If I want 0 slip in wet weather, what do I set the switch to? There is no guidance or explanation of the connection of the switch to reality.
Also the help section on wiring is wrong for the gen8 si sedan. I had to find this out on a non-hondata YouTube. The wire colors in ‘help’ are only accurate for the coupe. Cost me days!

The settings allow for less or more slip, so it depends on what you have the setting set to and what position you have it at.

DUH,

I get it: you don't know either and can't answer my question. It's OK. I'm sure you can't know all the answers. This is why the help section is also wrong with no follow up to make it accurate. I'll go to the experts on social media.
