How am i getting the feeling about those quotes that they "kick the clutch" to acquire better rpm powerband?

Like with those insane 80s turbocharged cars they used clutch slip to keep engine at better rpm (in the narrow maxpower area). Even without charger it would give technically short boost --> In car you kick the clutch for so long that you can rise RPM to best rpm usually the power from engine and momentun in driveshafts makes your car "burn rubber," or go "slowly sideways"

Technically would it be the same thing with prop pitch? "feather" prop to add rpm and then kick in the more coarser? pitch to force that engine power and momentum to movement for that narrow timeline.
I really don't think that pitch would change fast enough for that have any kind off use.

As for milling pitch up down in narrow area there might be some advantages if doing this at point where engine starts to lose RPM.

Well working or not i'll might test this for my own amusement.
