Apples to oranges Moto GP comparision my friend 
From the Moto GP site:
The so-called seamless technology, using architecture no too dissimilar to a regular gearbox, switches between ratios without cutting drive from the engine. The technology is extremely complex, yet those milliseconds it saves appear to be a cost and effort worth putting in. Rossi spoke about the areas he felt such a transmission improves.
“For me, in one lap it doesn't change a lot…I mean the lap time. A lot of people speak about two-tenths for a lap - I think it’s less than two-tenths. But the big improvement I think is in the 20 or 30 laps, because the bike becomes a lot easier to ride, is more stable, more stable in acceleration, but also more stable in braking, and in the next braking.”
He addresses the fact that a quicker shift saves time when added up over race distance, yet focussed heavily on the benefits on the feeling of the bike. Engaging a gear on a regular gearbox is something not only spectators can hear, but something riders feel reverberating through their bikes. By eliminating this movement of the bike, no matter how small, the whole package feels more stable in all parts of the track. A point the Italian noted in particular was that “…you can use the gears for riding the bike more than before. I mean that, if you need to change gear, also on the very edge [at full lean], you can do so!”
As Rossi pointed out, this added smoothness has a knock-on effect on tyre wear, and rider feeling and fatigue: “For me, it's better for the tyres, less stress for the tyres, and is also very good for the riders because the bike becomes easier to bring to the limit and it’s more difficult to make a mistake. So I think it's something very important for race distance – more so than for one lap.”
Oh and BTW, dogs get worn from the abuse of power shifts not because of being shifted clutchless in normal riding.
