I wouldn't say that oversteer is an emergency situation like a panic stop - I would argue that it is a skill that can only be taught by first hand experience (not to be confused with experience on the road).

I can agree with that. But you can really only become a better driver with age and experience (until you approach being a senior citizen and other things diminish, like vision and reflexes). The way you put it was good -- first-hand experience (rather than just any experience), maybe I should have worded it that way.
