You’re welcome to your opinion.
I’ll agree to not agree

Its not really his, or my opinion. It is Ford's. And its not their opinion.

There is more wear during the first 1500 miles on an engine than in the next 50,000 miles. The oil should be changed early to remove the metal that is deposited in the oil during the initial break in when parts are mating to their wear surfaces. It is not manufacturing debris that is an issue, but the results of the break in of wear surfaces.
The first oil/filter change should be made at 1500 miles.

I take your point of "wear-in" products. But be aware that the vast bulk of wear-in occurs in the first hour or so of engine life. The real issue is the cleanliness of the production line. This determines the chances of manufacturing "debris."
