You would be able to tell if your clutch slipped 1/10th of a rotation by looking at the tachometer? We are talking about less than 1/100th of a second at 2000 rpm.

That is 2000 revolutions per minute, 33.33 revs/sec, 3.33...3 revs/10th sec, .3333 revs/100th sec, and so on.
So you're talking about the teardrop in the ocean scenario. Two questions: Does it matter? Could you ever tell conclusively either way? If not then your argument has, in effect, no meaning.
