this doesnt make any sense to me. from my understanding....

a dual circuit MC uses one circuit for the fronts and one for the rear.
they are both always active. if you lose one you still have half of your
brakes, unlike a single.
the reason the mc needs to fully disengage is to allow the pressure
release ports to open. otherwise there will always be pressure on the
brakes, your mileage will suffer, they could overheat and they will wear
out prematurely.
