but I honestly don’t know why anyone would presume that if you put your entire foot on the rudder pedal that you would be any more prone to mis-apply the brakes when making a rudder pedal input, than you would be to bank when pulling back on the yoke to rotate. You learn to not do that.

Refer to my first post about the chappie that over-ran the runway during the abort because he was unaware during the take off run he was applying intermittent brakes. I know it is hard to believe a pilot could fall for that, but the scary part is that neither PF or PNF or the instructor picked the fault during the take off run. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it happens every day somewhere around the world - ie shoes touching the top of the brake pedals.
