It is impossilbe to deflect the input shaft by use of the clutch arm so slave cylinder misalignment may result in reduced slave cylinder life it will have not affect on input shaft to pilot bearing / bushing.
Tell him to guess again. I would take a radial runout measurement on your input shaft, id measurement on your bushing/bearing. Obviosuly radial runout should be zero.

That is true.
The throwout fork and bearing come nowhere near the input shaft.
Every manual trans has a snout for the throwout bearing to travel on. The input shaft runs inside the snout.
If there was any contact is this regard you have a clutch that wouldn't disengage at all, and a high pitch squealing noise.
