Though it does sound patronizing, please understand we're all pretty big on driving awareness in
all its forms. In my opinion, eco-driving encompasses many points,
including greater spatial and situational awareness than other drivers exhibit.
For you to phrase your sentence the way you did, it almost makes it sound like you are trying to legitimize looking at your phone while driving, and this is what JRMichler was addressing. I don't think anyone here wants to get bogged down in semantics, we just don't want another distracted driver on the road either!
So please understand why you were addressed that way and carry on!
In regards to your initial question, here are some of my opinions.
Based on the overwhelming support here for EOC, I don't think it will cause excessive wear, but I
personally find it takes too much effort, and don't bother with it (with a few notable exceptions). I have also heard (through this site) that the starter contacts can wear out. Supposedly this is a very inexpensive repair, but it's something else I don't want to have to worry about either.
If you are willing to invest the time in it, more power to you. If you're nice to your clutch, you won't have to worry about any premature wear.
