I agree with you there.

I heal tow everything I drive makes for a smoother down shift. I also do it instinctively when in a panic brake situation. Its easy just brake with your big toe and blip the throttle with your pinky toe. Or brake with toe, gas with heel, or my favorite brake with heal, gas with toe.
