Also playing devil's advocate I encounter pulls from 2500 rpm all the time in second gear coming off a corner. If I'm not hauling ass around the corner I'll be at or below 2500 rpm and I like to pull hard off of corners because it's fun. Or if I'm following someone that takes their time pulling into a driveway or gas station and I end up accelerating from 10 or 15 kph. It's been stated elsewhere that you don't feel trapped in it because it probably doesn't last long but not having it there feels better.
I really appreciate the work you're doing here and I'm not trying to discount it and agree that for most people the dip being pushed lower probably doesn't matter but I don't know that it's right to generalize and say no one is going to pull through that range.
That being said, even with that smaller dip present and if it doesn't get tuned out I still plan on jumping on board once I have the funds available. Nice work.
