I think we assume the same thing, but use different examples. Were manual transmissions more common, people would presumably try to minimize shifting. My example (major gripe) is city driving. Coasting instead of actually stopping (as you come up on a line of cars at a light that just turned green) means you minimize shifting, but it requires a buffer of a couple dozen meters. It just isn't possible when you're too close.
