I know tuners and mechanics who do agree with him, however, I do not.
If you do your own survey of break-in procedure, you will find that like motors have like break-in procedures, regardless of which continent they were built on.
I'm willing to bet break-in specs are the result of large peer groups of engineers, such as the SAE, etc.
IMHO, a few important things for break in are; DO NOT lug the engine and be sure to modulate the throttle regularly, ie, gently roll on and roll off. This allows cylinder pressure to press the rings against the cyclinder wall, and also allows the negative pressure in the cylinder to draw oil up past the not fully seated rings.
