However I do think there's a shred of truth to applying it to your situation, double clutching is unnecessary but I see no reason why you cant run up first gear to redline, second gear to redline ~59 mph and floor it in third until you feel comfortable lifting. Repeat for every freeway onramp.

I try to do that daily, aside from getting up first gear there is no torque dip in that scenario (especially if you start from a roll). Complaining that you never get out of the torque dip sounds like you're a gear too high.
