Yeah, well, you can switch gears more quickly by having paddles 
shifters on the steering wheel.

But so many of us have no problem with the location of the gear 
selector that we're all familiar with.

I feel like my mechanic is telling me I should move to paddle 
shifters, cause then I can change more quickly.

But what's it gonna cost me? And can I both, in case I don't like 
(or can't get used to) the paddle shifters.

So the point being made in the article, is kinda... pointless.. 
really.

i.e. It's the other questions that immediately arise that need to 
be answered (or even asked would be a nice start).
