Up and down get a little confusing as descriptions. So, the 3 at a time is to cassette gears with more teeth (easier).
Correct, and this is an important safety feature imo.
I had an Ergo shifter slightly overshift on me during a sprint upshift (to smaller cog), and the resulting slippage threw my foot off of the clipless pedal, nearly causing a crash and taking the leather off of my shoe's toe.
These newer Ergo shifters can't overshift in this manner, so are an improvement imo.
