And no, if you try to do a "normal" downshift in the biggest cog, the shifter does NOTHING. To upshift in this situation, you, the operator, must then knowingly IGNORE the feedback the shifter is giving you (ie, no downshift "click") and then DECIDE to let go of the shifter to initiate the upshift. If you DO these to things, yes, you will upshift...(which is good, because that's how the shifter upshifts--it can't read your mind)
The fact that you have to type that whopper of a paragraph to explain it answers the question right there.
And BTW I have tried the SRAM shifters and while I like the smooth movement (probably because everything was new) and the way the levers felt, I tend to vary between slamming my gears in and pushing it lightly, depending on my mood. Campy and shimano allows me to do that. If I slam the double tap in hard, it'll probably shift down when i don't want it to.
