Onset of understeer takes a different leap of faith that unwinding the wheel a bit will get your front grip back.

Put in an autocross or two and drive at the edge to reinforce this in a safe environment. It's served you well.
Yep, that's what I've been told, look where you want to go, your hands will follow. Again, the feeling seems intuitive but for some reason I wasn't able to explicitly tell myself 'what to do' with absolute certainty. Good to know on both levels.

Also, the comment regarding NOT lifting is very helpful as well.
