    You’re not incorrect, but that’s the wrong comparison to make. If the car is accelerating out of control and you’re trying to stop it, you’re not going to press the brake as hard as you would the accelerator; you’re going to press the brake as hard as you can (which, unless you’re old and frail, is a lot harder).
