As always, an excellent response from you, Chris.
Translating that into my world: street riding, I would say that there are many good opportunities for applying quick-flick, and maybe a minimal, if not zero situations, to deep or stretched trail-brake.
It is great that you mention timing.
A smooth transition from brake to throttle, the type that keeps the front suspension compressed, requires that the rider takes at least one second to release the brake lever while simultaneously feeding the engine with gas, which is technically trail braking.
The MSF teaching for basic turning is as effective as safe for street riding:
* For sequence: Slow-Look-Press (Lean)-Roll (Accelerate)
* For turn-in points: Wide and late (delayed apex), for max visibility and time to react to hidden/sudden dangers.

I would say that the error is early turn-in point or heading for the curb too soon or not wide enough, which induces a wide running during exit.
Again, thanks for taking the time to clarify my question.
