The "no cruise control" period was almost three times the break-in period. I
think half a point to each perspective is due.

Well, I just pulled out the owner's manual for my '06 Acura TSX. The
only restrictions for the first 600 miles are to avoid full throttle
acceleration, avoid agressive acceleration, avoid panic stop braking and
to leave the factory motor oil in the motor until the first oil change
interval.
The old procedures for running in rings, cams and the like do not seem
to apply to modern Honda products. I'm pretty sure Honda knows what
they are doing in this regard.

Sure. Can't have all their engines lasting 300K miles. It's much
better for honda if their engines only last through the period of their
extended warranties.
