I think about it like this. Honda has gone to great lengths to hire some of the best engineers in the world. Add to this the experience base (decades) Honda has building engines for various high performance applications including motorcycles and cars. Throw in the mix that due to the fact Honda puts a warranty on new vehicles, it is their financial best interest to provide owners with the best information on how to maintain their vehicle mechanically, and to continually do research to develop such protocols. If they gave out poor break-in info, and this led to a greater failure rate, the company would stand to lose. Illogical to give out anything other than the best info available to your customers.
A lot of really bright folks have invested a lot of time and money into figuring out what the best break-in procedure is for your Honda. Barring hard scientific evidence to the contrary developed by smarter and more motivated people, I would say whatever Honda says is the way to do it regarding break in procedures. I doubt that anyone contradicting Honda's recommendations has anywhere near the same experience base and engineering resources necessary to have a credible argument to do things differently with a better result.
This is a fancy way of saying do what Honda says.
