No argument here. However, there is no potential downside to more frequent changes as far as the operation of the engine.

Thus, it is a silly thing to argue about. Change the oil when you feel like it. There really is no "wrong" approach, again, within reason.

Edit: Thanks for the thread reference. Very interesting reading.
