I was using a process of elimination.
Let's say I don't know what a steering wheel is. Then I ask someone what that round object that spins in front of me is. Lets say the reply is: "It is the brake". I can say it is NOT the brake because the pedal next to gas is the brake.
I just told someone that the steering wheel is not a brake, even though I don't know what a steering wheel is. See, you can tell people what things aren't, even though you don't know what those things actually are.
This method failed me here because I assumed there was only one method for a kick-down, when in fact, there is two.
And we all know what happens when we assume...!
Point taken, PureVim, about having an open mind. If I did, I probably would have figured it out sooner.
