Relatively, yeah it does. My point is this. So pretend you're a mentoring a newbie. Do you teach him to go back and forth through every gear ratio or to stay on one ring as long as practical? Stay on one ring? Okay, why? Because it is more desirable to do so. Then when he has to, you teach him to make the double shift to get to the other ring. Okay, so can you live with single shifts that get you where you need to be are more desirable instead of double shifts are undesirable? That works just as well for me.
