Didn't read that article, did you? That's okay, it was only written by an automotive brake system engineer. Nobody you should trust, or anything.

If you understand how brakes actually work, then you'll understand why getting them hot is an important part of breaking them in. You'll also understand that anytime you allow rust to take over the surface of the brake rotor, you need to redo the break-in procedure.
