Can you explain what you mean
"We have a /2 guru here,and he said to "let off the gas,count 1-2 then shift" .This technique in addition to slightly pre-loading the shifter has resulted in PERFECT shifting,even I am amazed!"

By shifting slowly with a
Most old school manual transmissions shift easily without a clutch. I have done it on more than one occasion out of necessity on cars and motorcycles. A bit of trial and error is sometimes needed to develop the technique for a given vehicle.
Upshifts are a bit easier to do than downshifts. To upshift, put pressure on the shifter toward the gear you want to go to and back off the throttle. At some point the gear speeds match and the shifter moves to the next higher gear. Some cars work better if you pull it into neutral (easily done with a neutral throttle) before applying pressure on the shifter.
To down shift in a car, pull the transmission into neutral and gently increase the RPMs while applying shifter pressure. If you miss it on the increasing revs, you have another chance when revs are on the way back down. If you know that there are 800 RPM difference between gears at the same speed, you can narrow your RPM range, but it is mostly a seat of the pants feeling. On a motorcycle, put pressure on the shifter, blip the throttle and it will drop down a gear without too much fuss.
If you are in a car and have to stop, the starter motor usually has enough oomph to crank you away and get the motor started. I have never tried that with my R90S, however.
