Reading and simulations may be boring to many, but they really tell us way more about transmission than these videos. Could it be just the "a picture is worth 1000 words" phenomena?

Specifically, long before these vids we knew:

M-DCT would shift very fast
M-DCT will rev match on downshift
M-DCT will have paddles and and an automatic mode
etc., etc., etc.
