I don’t think they’re talking about turning the wheel back to straight but rather straightening the car relative to the road. If you turn away from your imaginary lane and just let the wheel go back to straight, you’re essentially driving off the road at an angle. To stay on the road you need to turn again in the opposite direction first and then let the wheel go back to straight. The article says we usually forget to readjust when miming the action.
