if you're setting up a rear mech and you say "it skips a cog when downshifting" you'd mean when moving to a smaller cog

I don't think so. The text in the pictures is referring to moving up or down the cassette, not up or down the gears (as in gear inches); it never uses the term "downshifting" or "upshifting" in the way you propose. Would you say you are downshifting when you move from 1st to 2nd gear in a car?
Plus Sheldon Brown disagrees:
- "Difficulty in upshifting to the smallest rear sprocket"
- "to shift down to the largest rear sprocket"
Apologies for polluting this thread...
- "Difficulty in upshifting to the smallest rear sprocket"

Is there a typo here? "Downshifting" is going "down" to a lower gear (bigger cog or smaller chainring)
