No I'm not...but I am a person that does his homework and have been doing it for cars for 38 years. Does that make me an expert? No but compared to some of the folks here I'd say I have more reliable information than the folks who pull crap straight out of their azz or who repeat it as second-hand information.

in a study conducted by Porsche - is that good enough or does it have to come from some place more or less exotic to your liking?

That's pure
because as the consumers we didn't spec out or engineers the car we are talking about and its oil temp issue for some folks. If you are going to question my substatiated opinion then do it with something factual and not something esoteric like "life it what you make of it".

I agree about changing oil when you are supposed to but thyat is a complete OVER-SIMPLIFIED beg-off of the issue being discussed. Even if you change the oil very religiously, if the car is running hot it can over time if continued to run in that condition shorten the life of the engine. Changing the oil does'nt cure or wash away accumulated wear and tear.
I really suggest you do your homework before the next time you decide to open your mouth and change feet.
