Old version of di2. No multishifting ability on it. Newer version shifts faster.

Interesting but if the focus is speed of shifting does it even matter? Ability to anticipate gear shifts should far outweigh any advantages of one groupset over another. Isn't the most important shift quality the ability of groupsets to accurately and reliably shift one cog at time? If you need to dump the whole cassette or gear down five cogs at a time than you probably didn't have your "head in the game" at some point. Still nice to see for academic reasons.

I have a short attention span.

Is there a conclusion?
There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

I asked the same thing. I couldn't figure out what the takeaway was. ??

Is shifter actuation synchronized between groups? Otherwise don't see the point.

Right, but do you have your head in the game all the time on every ride?

A system that works perfectly only as long as its operator is perfect is therefore as fallible as the operator. A system that gives a clumsy ham-fisted idiot a bunch of get out of jail free cards is, in the real world, a better system, isn't it?

Pretty much. When things heat up to the point that shifts matter, yeah I don't lose focus. I feel there is enough that you can't control that can kill you, so I work hard to take care of the things I can control, being in the moment the most important. Lycra + concrete, is a terrible equation.

A good point, and kudos to the companies that do the best job at this.
