I would agree with that.
For the turn in point, I found that after the bump the car was so upset and
the mud was so thick that I ended up with terminal understeer. Turning in
just before the bump, allowed the car to continue to rotate after the bump,
drifting sideways slightly in the mud, and then I could get on the throttle
much sooner.
As far as tight vs. wide, when walking the course it looked like there was
less mud wide, and my big car does certainly prefer a wide line, so that's
what I took on all 3 of my runs. Worked fine, but I can't compare it with
tight, I didn't try it.
