>Having more than two driven wheels does not change the contact patch on the road
It literally doubles the contact patch over which you can apply forward forces. This is important when doing something like ascending a hill that has any sort of curve on it.
Not to say that more traction per wheel isn't more better but to just pass off AWD as being of negligible improvement is pure lunacy.
