Jacques,
I believe what was said was that conventional (not
synthetics) have too much sulfur in them, which
attacks the sprayed-on coating that's on the synchro
faces.
As far as damper oil, in race carbs you don't care
about stability, you're pretty much wide-open throttle
all the time, so some eliminate damper oil to give
"right now" full travel on the piston. The damper oil
is just that - a damper. The springs have far more
influence in the "controL equation.
