I'm assuming by Pedal trick you meant to make the throttle more responsive and not the clutch adjustment, here's my best guess:

The throttle is supposed to naturally become more responsive as the ECU learns the full range of motion of the throttle pedal, but by default includes a dead zone to be safe after an ECU reset. The pedal trick fast tracks that by leaving the car on but not running(and therefore safer to repeatedly push the throttle) but giving it plenty of examples of the range of motion to adjust the actuation point/dead zone to the full range.

Again, this is purely a guess.
