Interesting assertion that it's the first 20 miles that really matter. Would be expensive to prove scientifically by dismantling identical[1] engines after 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 miles etc, but doable. He doesn't offer any indication that he's done that though.
His opinion reflects general race paddock folklore, however, that running-in can be brief and maybe results in a quicker motor (race bike paddock, at least).
[1] as identical as possible, brand new then blueprinted I guess.
