Good way of expressing it.

On dive and lift we mustn't forget the other axle in each case. For example in brake dive, front compression and rear rebound settings are both able to assist in controlling weight transfer.

Hence another benefit of adaptive damping, front to rear damping can be optimised for each condition, without having to have hard damper settings all the time.
