Are you serious? Would you have little buttons or levers to pre-select your next gear. Then would the clutching operation be accompanied by a lift of the gas plus a clutching with your foot but with no shifting?

This totally defeats the purpose. The purpose of the two clutches is the the "next" gear, whatever the transmission computer deems will be the next gear, is pre-selected. The requires two clutches. Next, computers and hydraulics are orders of magnitude faster than any human, if you let a human control any part of the process it would slow it way down and massively sacrifice the performance. Think about it some more!
