Default occasionally red-lining?

I read that driving your 370z carefully can actually cause more harm to an engine than occasionally red-lining it and driving it like it was made to be driven. High engine RPM's equals high combustion temperatures which helps burn off the carbon that builds up on the cylinder head and valves, which can otherwise lead to worse fuel economy, power loss, and worse... Is this true?
