LOL, yes.

Except on the up shift, its desirable for the engine revs FALL to match road/engine speed, just as revs need to RISE when down shifting. Blipping on an upshift is actually precisley the wrong thing to do, unless revs have fallen so far during the shift they need to be raised to match road speed.
