Thats not correct. Trail braking is using, often the left foot, to carry braking deeper into the corner so as to keep weight (and therefore grip) and susension load on the outside front tyre to aid turn in. And hence Mr Stewart's remarks about how to come off the brakes, so as not to unbalance the car with abrupt weight transfer.

The left foot can be very delicate, it just requires, as always, practice and patience.
