Where the hell did you hear this, cause you are completely misinformed.
When the engine is cold, just taking it easy on it is the best way (shift at normal economical rpm and don't hammer down on the throttle). There already is oil circulating, so that's not the concern. Granted if it's really cold out (below freezing) the oil is gonna be substancially thicker.
Lugging an engine is always bad. Main concern with cold engine is that all the tolerneces are not correct. But, for all intensive purposes, if you just hop in the car, start it up, and take it easy till it gets warm, you'll have no problems.
I feel more like i do now than I did before.
