Double-clutching with throttle: I doubt that one can match the synchro speed accurately; it's either to high or to low when using throttle to double-clutch. I can see some advantage in double-clutching without throttle. Without any accurate research either way, who is to say? I can point to several vehicles in my life time with well over 250k with good synchros not using double-clutch. There are myths out there like: "Don't re-set your odometer when still rolling", etc. These myths die hard. By all means, double clutch with gusto; half the people are doing it because it's cool.
