That is false, because you can induce a motion of the steering column without using your hands. If you shift your center of gravity around without your hands on the bars, the steering column will do things on its own and you can learn to predict and control that. Not just simply 0shifting the center of gravity in the seat; you can do things if you seize the top bar between your knees.

A steering column which somehow turns right without your hands will induce a countersteer to the left the same way as if you had used your hands.
