He then repeatedly tried to restart it too quickly, ground teeth off of the flywheel ring gear which damaged the starter drive gear. Happens all the time.

Oh no, you don't get away with it that easily!  First, the damaged starter is clearly caused by the ineptitude of the driver, not the worn clutch. Second, a worn clutch will cease to transmit drive to the wheels. The engine will therefore not stall but will happily spin away while the vehicle remains stationary. It's like saying that your worn tire was the cause of the blowout, and therefore responsible for the totalling of your vehicle. No, you were the cause, for operating the vehicle with a worn tire. It wasn't the fault of the clutch that the starter/ring gear/bendix failed in your scenario, it was the fault of the operator. However, in the original post the dealer was claiming that the clutch was so badly worn that it had damaged the starter, hence my question "How does a worn clutch damage the starter?". The only situation I can imagine, which doesn't appear to be the case here, is that the clutch fragments at high rpm and small pieces jamb between the ring gear and bendix, ripping the two apart.
