I wont disagree with you that reducing the shock load on the drivetrain due to dumping the clutch at 7,000 rpm will extend the life of the components - because that part is largely true.
I did read the post several times, and I'm still trying to figure out what you're talking about. Keep the "embarrassing moments" for yourself.

What I am disagreeing with is the terminoligy you've created here and how you're applying this, because it doesnt work. "Preload" means to apply an initial load or torque, either to a fastener, a spring, etc...

This part, just isnt true. If you're applying a torque to the drivetrain, then that is what the drivetrain sees. It doesnt matter where it comes from, or how smoothly its applied - the only way to reduce it is to make less power or use less throttle.
The drivetrain is always "engaged". The gearsets are always meshed together, so is the diff, the ring & pinion gears, the driveshafts, the axles, etc.... the only difference is whether the clutch has engaged the drivetrain to the engine or not. If you are slipping the clutch excessively then that will just wear out faster.
I have not had time to respond to this yet and here it goes. Obviously you have not figured into the equation the inevitable "slack" in a drivetrain. By "pre-loading" the drivetrain, giving just a little throttle to engage all the components to mesh together it will reduce the shock load on the drivetrain. The drivetrain is not engaged because of that slack.
So my terminology was correct, my point of shock was said way before you started restating my post in other words, and then were just wrong in having the drivetrain always engaged unless you would like to argue that drivetrains have no slack, I would love to see you blueprint my drivetrain and say it has no slack.
