And what does that have to do with being in the torque dip?

Granny shifting has everything to do with the "torque dip." In the old days we called it the flat spot. It's a common effect of tuning an engine for peak hp. Go ride any sub-liter crotch rocket to redline.

It's all about learning the machine. Appreciate it for what it is and why it does it.
