Perhaps, but bad knees aren't rare. Working a clutch is a problem for
many people, even those that know how to use a stick. FWIW, some
people said the same thing when they started to use synchros. (And
crash boxes can be done with a bad left knee.)
Today it takes a really good driver to outperform a good four or five
speed, and anyone sipping coffee between shifts isn't that person. It
takes a pretty good driver when you have paddle shifters.
