I don't agree with that.
You make a decision - either stop or avoid. If you choose stop, you need 100% of your concentration focused on stopping. If you choose avoid, then you need 100% of your concentration on finding the best way around.
Adding in downshifting to either action complicates things too much (mostly mentally), and dropping numerous gears with the clutch in will give you a sharp lock-up of the rear when you let it out - and that's not going to help you in any way.
