I don't see the difference; we're both on throttle mid-corner.

Are you magically on-throttle before you even enter the corner? Or are you on-throttle immediately after you enter the corner? If this is the case, then you're not entering the corner as fast as the car can go. Are there exceptions to this? Yes, but those are the occasional exceptions, not the generalizations we speak with for this discussion.

You're needing to feather the throttle in the corner perfectly illustrates my point; you're feathering because that sudden, unpredictable surge of power, will destabilize your car, mid-corner. If the power is predictable, then there is no need to feather; the driver can select the exact amount of output he wants with a precise pedal position. No need or reason to feather.
