NDS, it would be hard to argue with you on that (which btw, I am about to do).
Any manual transmission without a synchronizer in it (alot of older trucks and cars) will be prone to "grinding a pound" if not shifted right. Double clutching gets the clutch plate RPM's close to the tranny gear RPM's so that the "mesh up" is much less violent.
Try driving an old pickup that the synchro-mesh went out in! The old cliche "double clutching" means to slow down, which in the old days was the only way to down shift a standard tranny.
I guess I am showing my age.
