When stopped you have two options in a car, sitting with your foot on the clutch (which is flat out bad) and putting the car in neutral. Putting the car in neutral is basically one meaningful action - changing gear, yes you have to depress the clutch move the gearstick to neutral and then let the clutch go - but to describe that as "cycle the clutch twice" is madness. Am I missing something?
