Default dave gierki engine break-in debate!!

i read an article a day or so ago that dave gierki wrote, apparently he's a guy that has been engineering and working with two stroke engines for 30 plus years. he said that newer studies show that engines last longer and run better when they are broken in while running in short, hot, lean spurts and not longer, cool and rich. i was wondering if you guys have heard of that supposedly "newer" way of breaking in an engine. just read that article and it ended up beign a pretty heated discussion with some guys interested in the newer method which they say worked and other guys saying that they choose to go by what the engine manual told them which is running rich. sooooo just want your guys take on that and if you've heard of that debate.
