This is important for (at least) two reasons:

1) When you lean the wrong way and parts are scraping, your margin for error correction is GONE.

2) You need to at least MAINTAIN the throttle throughout the turn because slowing down (with or without brakes) tends to make you go wide.......which is counter-intuitive. That probably is explained in the "books"; no need to go into it further here since nobody seems to care about the details.

Wouldn't want to be pretentious or condescending......... :cool:
