This is a safety heads-up for people (like me) who need to pay attention when braking to make sure their foot is all the way over on the brake pedal, otherwise they are going to risk depressing the throttle unintentionally when they brake. It's something you get used to over time, but could be a nasty surprise if you're not aware of it at the beginning.
Good heads up!

Yeah, I had that experience at my first stop sign with the throttle. But the clutch was all the way in, so I just realized I'd have to adjust a bit. Not a big deal if, as you say, you realize it and adjust. The trade off is that when heel/toeing you can actually keep way more of your foot on the brake (I use the "roll-over" not true heel/toe method). Without the pedals I never felt I had enough foot on the brake; now with the adjustment I think it's actually safer.
