Your view is based on what ?
meaning that you have seen an engine that had trouble solely caused because it was run hard (after it was fully warm) but before the recommended run-in milage was achieved?

Power, whether measured as HP, PS, or KW is what accelerates cars and gets it up to top speed. Power also determines how far you take a wall when you hit it
Engine torque is an illusion.
