You can see why people were getting confused - Once you press the clutch in, the gearbox input shaft is completely disconnected from the engine. The input shaft, synchros and gear engagement cannot be influenced by the engine.
Could the blip be adding in a time delay that you don't notice due to having something to do and enjoying the sound which means you have a slower smoother engagement?
Agreed it could make the clutch engagement smoother if your rev's were falling away too much before, and maybe if you don't rev match perfectly it's smoother on a falling engine speed than pulling it up, but the blip shouldn't be able to effect the slotting into gear if the clutch is fully depressed.
