Makes sense!
I believe if you rev it past 4K in comfort it also opens temporarily. Makes for a nice sounding exhaust note when it growls and barks as it revs past 4K but then closes below it, which eliminates drone that can happen in sport mode. Sometimes I drive like this with stick to the left so it revs past 4K more often on accelerating from a standing start or rolling start, or you can shift manually.
