Sorry bruce, not questioning the truth of the statement, just wondering why? (Some technicality behind it)

when you go arround a corner the car leans. this causes the wheel on the outside of the bend to lean over a little due to the angle of the car. so by having neg camber when the car lean's the tyre tread will come more into contact with the ground helping with cornering. simply explained that is.
