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,

QFT. The clutch operates similarly to brake pad and rotors, if there's no difference in speed between the clutch disc and the pressure plate/flywheel assembly when they engage the disc, there is no friction, thus no wear. Ok, the clutch springs and the throw out bearing see some wear if you really want to nitpick...
The same could be said for double clutching, it uses the engine to match the input shaft speed to the rest of the transmission so the synchros are at match speed before the gear is selected. Thus, the synchros do virtually nothing.
