This has been raised a few times recently. Let me just point out a little of the reasoning...
- Cold starts are where very nearly all engine wear happens.
- Idling takes longer to warm up than just Driving, and as such is more damaging.
- Unless you get the whole engine up to temp for long enough, you are promoting condensation in the oil, in the exhaust, etc.
There is a reason oil manufacturers consider short trips to be "severe service", and suggest shorter oil change intervals.
