Is it officially nonsense about jump-starting and pulling the auto-transmission fuse?

Wasn't there a warning for our cars not to jumpstart directly at the battery as opposed to using the posts in the engine bay?

Yes, but the reason not to jump start at the battery is for safety. Potential explosive gases venting near the battery. Even in traditional engine compartment battery locations, they tell you to always attach the negative jumper cable to a suitable chassis ground away from the battery.

Too hard on a Delorean to get to the battery terminals, especially the negative one. That is why they added the jumper terminal, not for safety, for convenience.

Both go hand in hand: Safety & Convenience

Not to mention it eliminates several connections and feet of cable power would have to flow through...
