Interesting point, that. My experience the first time I had to drive on clay was 'fu*k' - 2H slide back towards gate post. 4H spin all wheels slide quicker... Hmm. 4L, electronic brain thingy engaged, grrrr from the abs on each corner and drive straight out. No way I was getting it out from that situation any other way without a vehicle in front to anchor off or some recovery gear which I also didn't have...
