TPS adjustment idea

I have an idea, but I don't have an auto tranny to try it on, so I thought I'd post it here for you guys.

I know the newer computer controlled auto trannies use the Throttle Position Sensor (among other things) to gage load so it knows when to shift up and when to hold a lower gear. How about adjusting the TPS so it reads slightly lower? Wouldn't that trick the trans into shifting earlier while still letting you accellerate with a more open throttle? I know that shifting early while using heavy throttle works for MT cars, why not A/T's?
