This is correct. You can actually go WOT w\o worry. It is the slipping that can damage the clutch. For anyone living in a hilly area will tend to wear clutches out quicker because of this. Also drag racing will typically require slipping of the clutch to get out of the hole. "Riding" the clutch is also a good way to burn up a clutch. When your off the clutch pedal (on the gas) the clutch isn't seeing any "wear" so to speak so no worries going WOT. I typically like to see 200-300 miles of break in miles which is easy street NOT highway miles.
