Unfortunately you cannot factor Clutch Slippage that way in most cases. Only in extreme slippage would this really be a factor and then it WOULD be noticable in all gears. Simply quickly reving the engine without depressing the clutch would slip the clutch and cause a much higher than normal engine rev. for instance while drivng at highway speed stomp the accelerator to pass in 6th gear and you get a 2 or 3 K RPM difference in RPM. I wont go so far and say this is wrong because it could be the case in extreme conditions but not likely without it happening in all gears.
