Maybe, who's to say. Show me some irrefuttable data and I'll listen.
There is no such thing as irrefutable data on break-in procedures and their consequences, which is why the subject gets hung out to dry on the forum every few weeks.

they lack irrefutable data to support their claim.

Irregardless of its presented 'facts', data recorded could always be refuted subject to different conditions or scientific methods.

I drove my '05 up to and under 4000 RPM for the first 4000 miles, 90% highway, rarely over 80 mph, and mostly at or below 70 mph. Between 4000 miles and a current milage of 4,900, I have pushed it to 6000 rpm only a few times. Also, I always drive moderately for the first 15 - 20 min. for fluids to reach a stabilized temperature. I have changed the oil & filer only once, at about 900 miles, and have not added a drop of oil since. Car runs smoothly and beautifully.

I thrashed mine from new as I did with my last Porsche. My 997 is a great example and quicker than other examples I come across. My old boxster was as quick as a boxster S! I used to be an engine builder too and I believe in running them in hard. You MUST however let the fluids get up to operating temp before going over 4000 revs.
