I figure if you put that much work and money into something your not going to ruin the break in by being impatiant. Patrick has been trying to accomplish this since ive known in back in highschool, would be a waste to be careless now.
you are not ruining the break in. It isn't about being impatient. It's a different breakin method for a different time in technology just as tony noted.
