Using throttle to control cornering arc?

No doubt. Everybody has basically agreed that with no variables, the arc of a corner will change in the way you said.

You guys seem to be the ones stuck on being right about one small aspect of the equation.

In reality, 99.9% of the time any one of us would just steer a little more into the corner and call it a day.

Would you not agree that it is good to know all possible outcomes of your actions? I think its good to know that you can tighten a corner by getting on the gas, as well as slowly closing the throttle. Just as well, I think its good to know that you can overcome the grip on your front tire if you do this wrong when approaching some serious lean angles.

So, I'm sorry for bringing up other aspects of the technique proposed. I didn't mean to try to run anybody off by bringing up some variables in their scenario.
