I disagree. With a longer throw, you can actually apply more force to your synchromesh with less force from your hand. (Think lever arm in physics)
With a short throw, you are losing leverage, so you need to apply more force from your hand to apply the same amount of force on the synchros as the stock shifter. And because of this extra arm strength required by short shifters, you'd have to be really ham-fisted to push the short shifter hard enough to wear them any more than a stock shifter would.
