Sounds like the old "when in doubt,power out" school of thought.
Loss of traction resulting in oversteer
ON'T power out-that's what got you in trouble in the first place!
Correct response is to come off the throttle-and that's what the VSC is mimicing-and counter steer.
Loss of traction is predominately operator error.
Couner steering with traction control on brings the vehicle back into line-that's how it works.......
A lot of the thinking here explains the pictures of cars wrapped around trees on the nightly news....
