The trick with shifting is SUDDEN massive increase in engine load, which combined with a sudden increase of timing accuracy (google timing creep) creates the prime situation for pre ignition and pinging. I use torque management in everything i drive, because a half a tenth at the drag strip reduces transmission temperatures significantly for me.
People usually resort to name calling when their position is weak.
I've had a 3800 since 2004. So if you were doing this twice as long as I have, you would have had a 3800 in 1995.
See where I'm going with this?

In your obviously limited experience, you may never have come across minor false knock as I have.
ZZP and intense both sell false knock eliminator kits. Some people run dynamat on the trans and have had good success.
I've seen, first hand, plenty of cases where a sway bar contacting the down pipe causes random and false KR signals. It can also be triggered by noise in the trans, the dipstick tube hitting something, and pretty much anything in the engine bay that can make noise within the frequency that the knock sensors detect.

To say otherwise is flat out wrong, something you tend to get yourself wrapped up in quite a bit.
