A person who has completely missed out on one of modern societies greatest leisure inventions - the video game - is likely the type of person who would not realize the values and benefits of such a transmission system.

I also do not believe the contention that DCT proponents are the typical video game crowd. I grew up not only playing video games but driving the wheels off of anything I could get my hands on 2,3 and 4 wheels and even tracks. However, until automated manual transmissions became this good I religously stuck with MT.
