Why are you going through the gears if you don't engage the clutch?

Why would you wear out synchros if you don't go through the gears?

synchros should only come into play when you push the lever into 'gear'... if you're rev matching, it will save wear on the synchros.. but if your not releasing the clutch, why bother?
