I agree. With a Camry, shifting into N would have immediately remedied the problem. I remember hearing reports claiming: "Shifting to N didn't do anything".
The explanation always seemed obvious to me: Non-technical driver experiences UA. In a panic shifts into neutral. Hears engine scream. Thinks, "The car is still going!" and doesn't realize that despite the sound, the car is actually slowing down.
I know this to be a common misconception in my experience. People commonly misinterpret high revs with "going fast".
