Trust me, get up to a decent speed and try to do an emergency stop while downshifting. When you hit ABS you'll know you're stopping hard enough and you can back off a little. The proof's in the pudding and you can go out and do it this afternoon. Your brake pedal will go down WAY further than it does during your normal driving and you will be forced to heel toe unless you want to uncontrollably hold the gas wide open.

What I am referring to as using side of foot to "heel toe", is what is being done in the video - my apologies if that wasn't clear.
Also the video was more of a joke to show that side of foot "heel toeing" can be just as effective, I understand any of us can press a brake pedal harder.
In any case, if it doesn't work for you - use your heel! Was just sharing my experience, including instances of hard braking.
