Break In Period?

The way i feel about it is:
1. throttle isn't what may cause problems, it's RPM
2. throttle helps seat your rings, RPM makes debris travel in higher oil pressures and puts stress on new parts
3. the engine is probably fine to get on at the 1200 mile oil change I just like the extra insurance of 3000
4. most people change oil after initial start up and heat cycle before taking it out on the road. It's a good idea, i'm just too damn excited to drive the car
5. always use conventional oil until 3000 miles. it isn't as slippery as synthetic and helps the parts "wear in" to each other/seat the rings
