LOL, this is a total game of semantics...
Scenario:
6" of new snow falls on a hilly driveway. 4x4 SUV is left in RWD configuration, and fails to get up driveway. Driver shifts the vehicle into 4WD, and is able to make it up the driveway. Same tires, same conditions, but the 4WD mode makes the difference between being stuck and getting going. I call that traction - I'd be interested to see what term you have for that if it's not traction.
