FWIW, I've tested this with my eagletree and I can see amperage and voltage go UP when I brake, which is proof positive of regen braking. Think of it this way, if you didn't use regen braking, where would that energy go? Where's the load to dissipate it? Surely not through the FETs. It's regen.
Have a closer read of Ryu James's sentence that you quoted.
