Something I'm now appreciating is how people suddenly claim they understand vehicle dynamics. I've done three track days last year. I think I pushed the car pretty well and I definitely have a better feel for what it can do. Do I think that I now have the 'power' to turn off VDC with narry a second thought?. F#ck NO!

Having done some track days, I wouldn't say that track days alone warrant the confidence of turning off VDC all the time and claiming mastery of vehicle dynamics. I'd have to have done a bunch of autocross, some drift schools, and perhaps some performance winter driving classes to even consider calling myself proficient with vehicle dynamics.
