That's pretty dumb as well. My Subaru with a CVT allows the driver to select from preset gear ratios, but unless you actively engage the paddles there are no artificial shift points as it should. The only time I can see value in the fake is when you are going downhill and want to control your speed without burning your brakes.

Clarification: I meant the idea of fake shift points in a CVT was dumb, didn't mean to suggest your comment was dumb.
