Why the heck do you shift an automatic?

Subject: DML: Pedal lift during shifting

First off. I like shifting my automatic. I shift manually when I drive my
truck on the
road. My wife thinks its unnecessary. But I do it anyway.

So, if I shift manually most of the time, a question has popped up.

Q: Is a slight pedal lift between gear changing like the 1-2 shift or 2-3
shift a good
idea with a 46RH?

PS:
I would think the pedal lift is not necessary. I would also think that the
tranny was
design for shifts at WOT, 50%, 75% or anywhere in between and all while at
the maximum
rated load. Would I be correct here? Or is there something about the
design of tranny
that I missed.
