Perhaps, but let's be honest, I get especially high readings on my
'quirkometer' from Patrick... I have never known of anyone on this earth
quite so skilled and unique who:
- Runs barefoot up mountain trails in a robe with balance sticks
- Is an ordained deacon
- Can survive on a diet of
lever'. Like I
said, I suspect double-shifting isn't in wide use. It probably isn't even
useful unless you live in a very hilly area.

I have owned a few, although the vast majority of mine are (high) normal.
But my favorite derailleur of all time, the Shimano XTR m951 (with the

finest shifting derailleur I've ever owned.
