Sorry, but I simply disagree with you based on my experience in manual transmission operation.

Again I disagree with you here. Synchros are needed in first gear as well. If you are in neutral, and you have the clutch out, then push the clutch in and try to shift it into first gear, without synchros, it will grind. That is why we HAVE synchros. And if your double-clutching idea works in first, why do it? I mean what is easier, push clutch in once, shift into gear, or double clutch and push into gear?

No, actually I have not worked on many Hondas...I guess that means Honda must build a pretty shitty transmission then...
