If you are already at your desired cruising speed in, say, 3rd, gear, there's no reason to go 3-4-5 or 3-4-5-6... Just jump to the gear you want to be in.
Same thing for downshifting...

When you say short shifting? do you mean power shifting? I think short shifting is referring to going up to a gear before you run out of steam in your current gear... Usually you wouldnt do it while driving quickly... maybe im confused...
