Default gas engine and test stand

Is there a point to breaking in a gas engine on test stand or running the engine rich? Just wondering as I've been seeing quite a few threads lately of people running their gas engines as if they were glow engines. Running them for hours at a time at a constant rpm, that can't be good. Am I wrong? The way to do it is to still mount on the airplane peak it out then back it off 200 or so rpm and fly it, right? Just wondering if i missed something.
