You're absolutely right, but if you ask they can't give a definitive answer. Sometimes they'll give you a "it's the most efficient grip for turing", but that's incorrect. The most efficient grip for turning is 9 and 3. For me, it's about two things: proximity to the shifter and equilibrium. In order for my right hand to be a few inches from the shifter, it needs to be at about 4 o'clock. As such, my left hand needs to be at about 10 o'clock. The only way you'd see me using 10 and 2 would be in a driver's test or if I needed to use paddle shifters (which I don't particularly care for.
