But it doesn't say that. It says that most people use their right for for both pedals ...... it doesn't say it's wrong to use both

Very nice, but it doesn't explain why!
Claiming something is wrong "because it is" is infantile. It's the sort of thing my 3 year old grandson would say.
We should be looking for REASONS why and, so far, I haven't seen any.

As a matter of interest Peter, why do you left foot brake? You weren't taught that, none of us were. As said, I've picked it up from my Dad, where did you?
.... I get the impression the reason people are against left foot braking is because they can't do it ....
Left hand on the dash
When I first drove an auto I had to do an emergency stop, I hit the break with my left foot ( muscle memory acting like I was pressing a clutch pedal )and sent everything in the car flying. From then on I have only ever used my right foot. The only question I have is if using the left foot for breaking are you more likely to only depress the clutch when trying to do an emergency stop in a manual car?
In an emergency it should always be your first instinct to hit the brakes with your right foot therefore removing it from the accelerator
Keep yer knickers on Peter.
People have given reasons, for example, because when you look to brake, the natural thing to do (and safe) is to remove one foot from the accelerator pedal to apply the brake. If those reasons aren't sufficient for you, fair enough.
You've chosen to use an unconventional method to drive your car - best of luck with that.
