From my research, it takes a good month for the oil to run off the cylinder walls (depends upon specific oil additive package). Starts within that month (or whatever time it really is) do no significant damage. It's the starts that happen after the wall is dry that cause the real wear. Similar situation in the bearings and journals, but to a lesser degree. So, if you start it every two weeks, you prevent the wear. I am not advocating this approach.
The moisture problem, as I mentioned above, is a real issue. I don't know much about lycomings, but I am familiar with Porsche horizontally opposed, air cooled engines, and I see a good 20 minutes before the oil is north of 200*. You also need some time at the hotter temps to burn the moisture out, hence the general recommendation of an hour.
I suggested a 2 minute run, as it would only take a few seconds to recoat the cylinder walls and the less time running, the less moisture to accumulate. Also no condensation from cool down.
Qoute: First that a lot of wear happens during start when there is no oil pressure,
If that were true, each start would be damaging. We know from experience this is not the case. Some of the best looking engines at TBO are those coming from the flight school and they typically only run an hour for every start, however, they don't sit for extended periods of time and each run gets to operating temp. One of the key properties of engine oil is it's ability to "Cling" to surfaces for a good period of time and this clinging oil protects the engine on the next start, assuming gravity hasn't finally overcome the clinging, see above. Granted, there are negative attributes of short runs, but this is not a key one. Most are related to the engine not spending measurable time at designed operating temperature.
As an aside, my Porsche engine runs oil temps between 235-250* and that is considered normal. Somewhat different additive package in auto oil I suspect, but hopefully makes some feel better that they are not doing damage when oil temps get into the 200's.
