And IIRC, the 4 speed GM Hydramatics normally started off in 2nd back in the 1950's (if not before). And they had a lot less engine power and no torque converters.
I do think, howver, that the OP raises one valid point - the manual does not adequately describe the behavior and control of the Steptronic.
Glad I have a MT!
