I don't know about that, especially on understeer setup cars, which is the majority on the roads.
The worst thing I see people do is white knuckle the steering wheel and just hold on with zero, or very little input.
When you're in a skid, you have to work that steering wheel hard.
If you don't let off the gas, it is nearly impossible to loose control of a FWD car.
FYI, I teach winter performance driving.
