It's not the same thing. What real seat time gives you is muscle memory. If you have to think about what you're going to do, it's already too late. It's no different than karate, anyone can learn the theory but, until you've practiced till a block is automatic, you're going to get kicked in the head.
All the theory in the world doesn't help when things happen faster than your thought process. If you body isn't automatically countersteering before you even think about it, it's too late.

Dude, go to an auto-x. Spin the car out... and do it again. It actually takes a pretty good amount of ham-fisted driving to spin an S2000 out.
To avoid excessive oversteer in the first place, avoid abrupt inputs of any nature, wether they be steering or throttle inputs. Be easy... and work up to the edge of available traction. Don't go shooting past it in epileptic fasion (no offense to the epileptics out there
).
