Nor do I. It just seems a common assumption. I guess I even saw some reasoning in an article but fortunately I don't really care as I'm not interested in either drifting or automatic.

I wouldn't really want that
but I've had some experience: once I misshifted from the 6th to the 2nd (instead of intended 4th!) at 130 km/h (on a motorway
). It was a shocking moment
. I didn't notice how far exactly the tachometer arm went before I realized what was happening and recovered (before unclutching completely?) but fortunately it's all right.
I've practised and take more care since.

Well, I guess I'd like it to take shorter travel. I even have to sit one click further (than I'd find comfortable otherwise) from the controls because of it.
