I think you double-clutch to do what synchros are supposed to do, i.e. to save them since they wear out quick
I understand that the synchros are there to pick up the slack since most people, including myself, cannot revmatch 100% perfectly on every downshift, but if you are revmatching within 100rpm or so of a downshift by putting the clutch in, selecting the lower gear as you blip the throttle, and release the clutch, there is no extra wear on your synchros opposed to putting the car in neutral and then hitting the clutch in once again.
