I said to put the car into neutral, engage the parking brake, then take
your foot off the brake. The car is in neutral, so the engine isn't
driving it; the only thing driving it would be gravity.

The mass of the car will settle into the parking brake, such that the
parking brake takes up the strain--as it is designed to do.

With the parking brake taking up the strain of the mass of the car, then
take the transmission out of neutral and into park.

This way, the parking pawl is not taking the strain of the mass of the
car being pulled by gravity. The parking pawl becomes a backup, should
the parking brake fail.

So where in there didn't you read that the car comes to a stop? What
part of "let the car settle into being held by the parking brake" didn't
you understand?
