Jay,

but I believe it's commonly accepted that
taking an internal combustion engine from steady state/low RPMs to
full power/high RPMs (as one would repeatedly do during touch & goes
and engine-out practice) is more harmful to the engine than simply
steady-state/mid-RPM power settings.


Judging from the thread, it's not that accepted, it seems.
