Ah, I missed a part of it. I see now.

I question it because I know people that do it... they shift into neutral while going around corners in town (at intersections) and I don't understand why they do it... they can never explain, either.

I just use netural throttle unless I intend to accelerate or slow down. I very seldom use neutral over short periods in manual cars.
