All he is doing is trying to get you to answer a claim that you made.

Double clutching is needed in maybe a dump truck from the 70's and older. Thats only because they were dog engagement transmissions. Double clutching in NO motorsport is going to help, everyone in motorsport wants dog engagement and ignition interrupts for full throttle clutchless shifting. Synchronizers, did away will all needs of double clutching. If your synchros are going bad double clutching may allow for easier engagement into that gear or if it wont go at all it might assist in crunching it into that gear.
I have seen OEM clutches go 300k with normal driving conditions and normal shifting.

Since the invention of synchro's decades ago there is absolutely no reason to double clutch. None what so ever unless said synchro's are worn out. If you want to get into straight-cut gears we can go there as well...

If you want to save the clutch then simply DON'T USE IT. Your shifts will be as smooth as an automatic and the clutch will last forever. Simple as that.
