There is a difference between smooth and being quick. Sometimes you need to be smooth and quick. But I also agree that, at times, purposely upsetting the car gets it in a better position for the next turn. Car control really needs to include this. But quick, jerky inputs should be consciously made vs a habit for every turn.
The one thing that I see a lot of advanced students do is throw out the boat anchor while braking. As an advanced student, IMO, you really should be balancing the car through the turns...not brake, turn in, apex, track out. my theory is the point to point driving is what gets advanced students in trouble. That also is reliant upon a lot of other skills learned as a novice, vision, looking through the turn and thinking ahead and awareness of what's around you.
