That is only your opinion as there is nothing that you have said in your conclusions that is factual, based on your data.
On your reasoning I could drive around in second gear for a month and it wouldn't make any difference to the engine.
I don't know anyone who thinks that a car driving at a higher RPM than necessary is a good thing but more power to you.
Your plots do not show that the car would be terrible to drive, that is just your opinion.
I shared with you real world reasons why it would not be terrible to drive.
I answered everything you said with real world answers, not plots on a chart that you then extrapolated to magically prove your point.
And that is why I am not listening to you, because you are taking the extreme position rather than looking at the actual data.
You already made up your mind from the very beginning and all you have done is try to justify that opinion.
Given my driving style I use less than half the horsepower available from my engine.
The differential change would be a 24% difference so well within my use needs.
My car was not designed for my specific needs, it was designed for a range of needs, for many different customers.
To cheaply modify it to meet my needs is not a crazy idea, it is a logical idea.
To assume that the original specification of the car is perfect for every single person in every single use case is crazy.
Yet that is your argument.
And that is why I am not listening to your conclusions despite your data.
RRPhil indicated that my current second gear would be close to my proposed first gear with the changes and that means I can use second gear to launch and see how that feels.
That is using data to then look at the real world, not to form a biased opinion.
Maybe you want to develop that skill.
