One would want to deactivate traction control when starting from a stop in severely slippery conditions because if left on the wheels won't get power, correct?

Is it also correct that it's safer (although maybe not more fun) to leave it on after already moving on slippery roads in order to maintain forward motion in the event of wheelspin?

Once already moving, how does the function of traction control differ from that of stability control?
Simple to remember - Hit the button once to light up your tires. Press and hold the button for 10 sec to do doughnuts.
