Maybe the engine company has some quality issues? I have ran several motors in now without any problems, and have had good life out of them all. (OS ENGINES gotta love em!) I work for a company that manufactures transmissions for real full size buggies, the boss would die of heart failure if he thought metal shavings were in our trannys.
If you disagree with the possible shavings in the motor going unnoticed, did you notice the date that quote was posted was 2004.
