DSG is more mechanically efficient than a slush pumper, but a TCM controlling the shifting cares more about focus groups' idea of a smooth ride than actually taking care of the transmission. It also suffers the Achilles' heel of all ATs: it doesn't know what you're trying to do, it just reacts to sensor input.
