it's not ignorance, there are a lot of views on break-in

I think Duke meant just enough load to get the cycle down the road.

You don't have to do this specific break-in. The key is to constantly vary your RPMs during the first 500 and then up to 1,000 miles.

Duke and I did a very specific break-in to fully seat the piston rings in a short period of time. We had the luxury of being able to do the heat cycles over time (I did three on my first day of break-in).

Some might say both of us are also methodical in most things we do.
