The idea was to address a shortcoming of derailer drivetrains, in order to maximise their unmatched efficiency.
If efficiency (and weight, for that matter) wasn't a prime consideration, if it was only just about maintaining a nice cadence, the project would've been modifying some Ergolevers to shift a NuVinci.
Isn't that kind of what Pinions do ?
