Default "Jack rabbit" starts give best mileage

I was reading in the Bosch Gasoline Engine Management book tips for
improving fuel efficiency, and was surprised to see wide throttle
acceleration recommended, at least up to 2000 RPM, when you are
supposed to change gears.

Exactly the opposite of what I grew up hearing. Anyone know the
thinking (if any) behind the old advice?
