if i could sum up the points i was trying to make it would sound like this: saying heel toe is important because you need to be in the right gear is a poor argument. you dont need to heel toe to be in the right gear. also because the term right gear is ambiguous enough to make any statement predicated on the term useless. saying heel toe is important because of clutch wear is a poor argument because the clutch wear from a downshift in normal driving (what this thread was originally about) is insignificant. i would guess that on this forum there are more broken motors than broken clutches so if you are worried about a $500 dollar consumable, you are in the wrong car.
with all that said and done, ill heel toe when i find it conducive to the style of driving i am engaged in. i drive a 90whp miata most of the time so i am used to needing 5k rpms to simply move. if i can get by with out a heel toe and am still on the original clutch after 120k miles without feeling the need for it, i dont see the importance of it for regular driving. its simply a luxury.

Are you now satisfied with where you have back pedaled to? or would you like to continue? you still don't understand any of the counter points to your failed logic and no one here is getting any clarification from your nonsense.
