In that case, yes I'd leave it in D and wait 2-3 seconds for the tranny to downshift. Just how I interpreted it.

You are correct Andrew if driving in auto mode. If I were using my paddle shifters, I wouldn't be in 7th gear at 45 mph, more likely fourth or fifth.

I've actually banged the rev limit trying to accelerate quickly in a traffic situation.
