you not understanding how trail braking works is not an argument against it.
trail braking achieves two things, and why i teach trail braking as normal, not some special thing (yes, i am a driving instructor):
1. you can brake later. this is intuitive to having more speed, you carry more speed longer, and that means your faster.
2. trail brake to kill understeer. this allows you to turn in at faster speeds than a straight line breaker would. which means you have faster apex speed, and a faster slowest cornering speed. this leads to faster straight line speed to because you got off the corner faster.
if you are in significant oversteer on entry, you held on too long.
