I guess that my point was that proper bedding-in of pads happens under normal driving. Normal/medium application of brakes creates enough heat to create the proper contact between pads and rotors. I virtually never have to stomp on my brakes in street driving and I have excellent results with my brakes across way too many vehicles I own, from 2k lb. sports cars to 7k lb. trucks.
My advice about doing a pad replacement correctly might have been misplaced but I pay a lot more attention to that than any “bed-in” procedure, which I ignore other than checking my brake job with a few light stops. Everyone is of course entitled to take my advice for what they paid for it.
