I usually face this issue when going up a ramp to a freeway with a quick red/green light. coming to a complete stop and shifting into first is not always an option wit cali drivers behind me (sorry to the op for thread jacking lol).
I think they're saying you shouldn't shift into first in those situations, but I could be wrong. Unless you're basically at a stop. Would the correct solution be to just brake a tad bit and stay engaged in second and then just give it barely enough gas not to stall?
