Not true.

It is a shifter, it is truly shorter than stock, therefore it is a 'true short shifter'

The throw on upper lever arm will be shorter since the arm is shorter.

I have the steeda triax and it is very nice with nice hardware. It actually has a changed ratio on the shifter but it isn't as short as the B&M, which has a very sort length but the same arm length as stock below the pivot.

i thought the longer length of the steeda below the piviot point is what made it a true short shifter, yes the B&M is shorter but since the length below the piviot poit is shorter it is just a shortened shifter
