    There are circumstances in which it makes sense, but they are unusual. Fore example, there is a hill near me where I accelerate away from a junction. I reach the point at which I should change from 3rd to 4th just as I reach the speed limit and the hill flattens out, so I go straight to 5th. Coming down the same hill, I often go from 4th to 2nd if the junction is clear to accelerate away quickly. So in these circumstances - where a gear change coincides with a change in conditions - it may be reasonable. On the other hand, it is never wrong to go up and down the gears in order.
