A dog box (while possibly straight-cut) also has a different (or maybe just stronger I'm not that good with gearbox knowledge) synchro mechanism to most ordinary boxes.
As for the whole double clutching argument...
Maybe I've never driven a car with a decent gearbox, but in every car I've driven I feel less resistance as I put the gear in if I double clutch (and heel-toe if I'm braking). Especially when you are changing back two gears at once.
Whilst, technically, you should be able to change just as fast single clutching, it will stress the synchro mechanism. Last I checked, clutches (and engines, even though you are unlikely to damage the engine much by giving it one or two thou extra revs) were much cheaper and easier to fix/rebuild than gearboxes.
Generally speaking you should at least heel-toe or just give the throttle a blip even if you are single clutching otherwise you get engine braking/compression lock-up, which is a different matter altogether.
However - 9/10 people who think they drive fast enough to require 'clever-dick' footwork are, in fact, not driving anywhere near fast enough for it to actually make any difference.
