you sir have a COMPLETELY BUNK understanding of how a clutch works, sorry,
the only correct statement you made is in bold, the rest actually contradicts that statement. if the flywheel and input shaft are spinning the same speed when you release the clutch (the result of a proper rev matched down shift) there will be far less friction and therefore far less clutch wear.
this is the reason forums suck, people that half half an idea suddenly think they are mechanical engineers and can explain away perfectly good logic by reliving a story another moron told them.
Next time you THINK you have something intelligent to say phrase it as a question, that way when someone has to contradict you it wont have to be so harsh,
