The pedal dance only makes a difference in two scenarios from what I understand:
1) If you effectively lift a rear wheel under power (it will try to brake the free wheel).
2) Trail-braking using staggered pads.
For all other intents and purposes, the 5-second TC press is effectively like having the nannies full off. I just wanted to clarify that, as I don't want people to think an invisible hand will save them from spinning with the 5-second TC press.

I have had the TC/VSC turn back on in the snow when my ass stepped out just about 10 degrees. I knew better than lifting too abruptly so I was gathering it back up very carefully when the TC/VSC lights came on, and the throttle died. This caused a snap-in oversteer that spun me into oncoming traffic (the opposite direction of the original step out).
This was after holding the buttons for the 5-count and verifying lights came on.
So in some situations, you can do donuts, and other situations, it will intervene.
I wish we knew the real entry criteria for TC/VSC intervention.
