This is a non-sequitur. Whether the "endo" happens or not has nothing to do with where the friction occurs.
It depends on the relationship between the center of mass of the bike-rider system and the axle of the front wheel during brake application. If the center of mass projects through or below the front axle, endo will not happen. It depends largely on how far back you can position your keister.
