Again... Many years driving experience with a proper transmission.
My 'lousy automatic' will do that, and faster then you manually can.
Properly slower and less efficient than available technology.*


But anyways, OP. It all depends on how you're driving. 'Sweet spot' for sound is probably 3,500. 'Sweet spot' for MPG is probably around 1,500. And 'Sweet spot' for tracking is probably around 4,000.

AAAANNNNDDDD... In every day driving, how fast someone or something shifts has absolutely no bearing on anything.

Also... Typically, automatics are less efficient when it comes to true whp numbers if you want to argue that point as well.

It has direct bearing on 'emergency situations' as you started your argument with. Now you're contradicting yourself.
