What I am saying is, if a clutch does slip when it's fully engaged, then there's something wrong. The idea behind fully engaging the clutch is to not have any slippage, because at that point where the cluch is fully engaged, there is no more need to synchronize the driven member to the driving member.

Okay, then it seems as if I need change the wording in my original post. I wasn't suggesting a constant slip when engaged.
I don't think a negligible amount of slip, under certain conditions, when the clutch is fully engaged always means there is something wrong. OEM clutches are made to transfer torque, but also to last, be quiet, not vibrate, etc so there are going to be trade off's in holding capacity.
