I think drivetrains have "waited" for shift gates to execute a shift (more or less) since Shimano invented that tech in 1989? I don’t know if one could force a shift between the gates very well because there are enough of them that it’s hard to differentiate a gated shift from a forced one. I dunno. Just a thought. Shimano’ s low normal certainly shifted differently and never forced a shift to a lower gear because it couldn’t.
