I concur. It's not optimal by any means; we all know that. But our BITOG brains are calibrated to the most insane level of sensitivity regarding lubes and engines. Overall I doubt you did any real damage whatsoever. You might have taken 13 total minutes of operational lifespan off the bearings in an engine that's likely to go several hundred thousand miles. Or more simply put: it's kind of a moot point.While its not a good idea to rev up to the redline when your engine isn't up to temp, you caught it fast, and stopped it. IMHO I don't think you did any damage.
Shame be upon you, though, for such a careless act.
You are remanded to the corner of the garage ...
Say 10 "Hail Moly's" and 5 "Our Filters" and all will be forgiven.
