Yeah, I mean, I'm not looking for an argument, especially not with anyone or body that is way better qualified than I am to have a view, but I am interested/curious to know what the thinking behind it is. Seems like a very binary solution to an often multi dimensional task.
I've always used the rev counter, or if one is not available, my ears, to tell me what the engine is doing and try to keep the car in a gear where the power band is sweet. That way, if the dynamics of the circumstances I'm driving in change, the car is always ready to respond cleanly and immediately.
Just curious to know why you deliberately wouldn't prepare the car for its next potential move and only react to change when it happens?
What's the science behind the thinking?
