In general, for the older cars that's true.
In a car with a Torsen center and the rear unlocked, the max. torque that can be supplied to any wheel is about 3x that going to the wheel with the least traction.
In a car with lockers that are unlocked, the max is 1x that going to the wheel with the least traction.
In both cases above, if the traction of the wheel with the least traction is zero, the other wheels get no "go" because anything times zero is zero!
As you might expect, locking one or both diffs makes the equation more complicated.
