That's correct - draw 1 card, discard it, POSSIBLY discard a second (or third)

I think the DR special would be best served as ~both people draw 1, opponent discards his drawn card and any duplicates held in hand~ or something to that effect.  I can't stomach the impact on card advatage. 

I was wondering about the math on this card, I started to write it out in words, but it was getting convoluted - maybe something I can do in Excel if I'm bored later.  What has been your experience with this card getting discards from hand or from the board?  My top-of-the-head answer is 20%, subject to a number of variables that can lower it...

Maybe if you had brainiac, scarlet, and others with the same special all in one deck?  It's an interesting theory and I'd love to explore the concept further.
