Now Jim, this is obvious baiting here. I'm sure what he meant to say was
that reprogramming the valve body, increasing the line pressure, and
defeating the accumulator allows the bands and clutch packs to be
applied quicker, which usually reduces wear on those friction surfaces,
but unfortunately, is only harder on the hard parts like the planatary
gear sets, and sprague clutch (if there is one).

sometimes you just have to read "intuitively"  ;)
