I would like a proper explanation of that too. But I guess if you can safely rev past peak power then you can change gear and drop back to somewhere near the torque peak and so maintain acceleration. Maybe you can accelerate better in a lower gear just past peak power than you can in the next gear up at lower revs.
And you can safely 'over rev' past the power peak if you are slipstreaming.

I'm making this up, obviously.
