"whether to downshift through all the gears or do what’s called skip-shifting (going directly from 6th or 5th to 3rd) is a matter of preference, as it rarely makes a difference to lap times...It also helps by allowing you to focus completely on using the brakes, and not worry so much about all the downshifts. If it sounds like I recommend skip-shifting downshifts, you’re right."

Well I was referring to performance shift, which I don't know if the M6's have.
But that's exactly what it does downshifts to the lowest possible gear relative to speed. I imagine there is quite a bit of skip shifting in the 10 speed autos, but rather or not M6's can do it automatically I would imagine that is not the case.
Specifically sharp turns, heavy braking or heavy acceleration is when performance shift kicks in automatically aside from manually engaging it.
Would the M6's be able to do no lift downshifting? I mean if they had to?
