So if you pull in too much left reverser and are headed for the left edge of runway you wouldn't piss away your time removing the force that is putting you there. You would cancel all reverse and use braking on an icy runway to regain directional control and stop?

Why not correct the improper reverse usage immediately? Yes, it would be better to use proper reversers to start with but they were already past that stage. If differential reverse usage is so confusing just practice it once in a while on a dry runway until it isn't. That's what us old school guys did and it ain't that hard.
