I always hated this instruction. When instead I had it explained that one can think of it as fading the clutch out and fading the accelerator in (and that points in between are fine too) I immediately understood and never had an issue again. Admittedly I stalled a few times when switching to a different car whilst I learned its specific tolerances, but conceptually I was golden.

...now I drive an electric car.

Also it's never taught that you should lift the clutch to the bite point and keep it still until the car builds up some momentum. I think people do it so subconsciously that it doesn't occur to them that that's the key to moving from a standstill.

This wasn't taught to me either but this is the best thing for teaching others. I've explained this to a few people before that were struggling to learn and it made the process much easier.
