If a engine is going to be bad, it will probably be bad no matter how you break it in.
There are people here who follow the rules, never have problems, but many still consumes oil. And there are people here who break it in hard, no problems, but some consumes oil too.
All this just means, doesn't really matter what you do.
Personally I do WOT when I get the new car a few times to seat the rings, change oil, and then I follow the rules for the rest of 1200 miles to break in other parts of the car like the gearbox.
