You won't notice that dip that much unless you have driven a car with a meaty torque curve.
If you come from a car that you have to wring out, then you are used to it and like it
He noticed the dip because he read about it and saw the dyno that makes it look horrible. He would have "noticed" it even if it didn't exist because he was looking for it.
That damn dyno is so incredibly deceiving since it doesn't show duration. Under heavy acceleration it is a 10% drop for a fraction of a second. It is not this total loss of torque for several seconds that people represent it to be.
