Except that the gate pulldown devices (predriver N-channel) aren't the
ones driving the pulldown gate (final N-channel) on high-to-low transitions.
The final gate is being driven from the positive rail, and rising source
(ground) potentials come out of Vgs with quadratic impact on channel currents.
