Lets look at the pic. The centerline of the shift knob is behind the pivot point. So even if you put a vertical load on the shift knob, due to the geometry, it will tend to push the shift rod forward.
As I have said before do as you like it's your tranny that's going to suffer not mine.

Oh, I'm sure it won't suffer. Like a said, I've done a lot worse than resting my hand on the shifter, and I haven't hurt one yet!
