I completely agree. The stopping distance with and without the TM in tow should be pretty much the same.
The one time I made a near panic stop, it felt like I was able to stop slightly faster with the TM then I would have without it. It may be just a perception.
I have towed light weight motorcycle trailers before, with no trailer brakes. I could feel the weight of the trailer pushing the truck. I did not like the feeling. Going downhill on an off camber slick road in a tight turn would not have been fun.
