Where/when did Marco say that?

As for a purpose, again, it is more about a driving style. Your point is well taken when you say "...simple once one learns how to do it properly". Some weight off of a flywheel is not a bad thing however I have found that too much off is more detrimental than good. Also, as I stated above, camshaft profiles are a major player in this.
