I hopped over to Speedtalk and did some searches to hear what some other builders were saying. The general consensus there was the same thing here: it certainly doesn't hurt anything and in high horsepower cars where acceleration and cornering is a concern, it can actually help.

Brent, another forum with engine builders isn't detailed analysis and proof. There is none available. The OP's original question will naturally have drawn opinions.
The part is cheap and the installation relatively simple, so Lippy, do it or don't it. You won't find proof here.
For me, my cars sit. You take the coil wire off and crank. Your preoiled, then start the car. With a preoiler, there's additional connections and something else to potentially go wrong.
I have an expensive engine, my engines have always sat for long periods and I'm not worried. But whatever.
