I suspect you are unable to do perform an unbiased experiment.
That you are unable to shift Shimano drivetrains under a load is irrelevant. Many people can without issue. Perhaps if you practiced you might be able to do so one day.
Oooh!
Look at you!
Drawing your own conclusions about Shimano shifters & "dwell" without more than a parking-lot-test-ride AND YET declaring your experience to be a universal truth!
Let me know when you have spent REAL road time with an all-Shimano, mechanical drivetrain BECAUSE then you can be tabulated amongst the throng of riders who have experienced dodgy shifting with their all-Shimano drivetrains.
Flail away ...
