Semantics I suppose but I read what you wrote as a failsafe to prevent stalling that WILL allow the engine to bog and possible put undue stress on drivetrain.
The DCT has a few computer controlled systems that assist when needed, one of which is the ability to downshift to an
appropriate gear
before the engine bogs or comes anywhere near stalling.
