cause they don't want you to wrap the car around a pole in the first 100 miles.... i'd bet you a dollar it's the lawyers that write the break in rules.
explain to me "scientifically" why you need to break an engine in then? what does it accomplish?
i personally have seen bikes dyno'd that have been broken in and bikes that have been driven hard from day one. the bikes ridden hard always dyno higher and have no oil blow by issues.

The point is no one has come up with empirical proof. It's all "IMO" and "I have seen" or "I bet it's the lawyers" but no impartial unbiased facts. It could of course be the engineers and not the lawyers at all, but you have no proof.
If you have empirical data, then show them. How difficult can that be?

But there again if people want to disregard that empirical data that's up to them...
