Agreed.
Another thing to think about is heat treating...the harder you run it, the faster/more likely things like pushrod tips, valve tips, cam lobes, etc. will generate enough friction to efffectively heat treat themselves. Of course you want to do this with enough cooling time in between pulls to not damage anything, but I agree with the high load theory early in the engine's life.
