GDE, you’re appearing to get a little worked up and overly literal here.
There’s still a time and place, even with today’s amazing automatic transmissions that range limiting, manual shifting or M mode has its place. End of story.
Newer trans do a lot of the thinking for the driver but what they cannot do, in current form on pickup trucks anyway, is “anticipate”.
I know you understand those scenarios as well so maybe recognizing them would lead to a more productive discussion.
