Not true. Think about it, when you are braking when are the front wheels being driven (unless you are left-foot braking)? They aren't. But you did get the part about the front brakes doing most of the work right. It's all about weight transfer. Also, if your rear rotors were equal in size to the fronts, if you ever had to do a panic-type stop, with the front end diving and the rear end lifting, you'd lock up the rear wheels VERY easily. Then that means even less braking power you have available. Not good.
