Well you rattled my cage enough so I HAVE to disagree with that statement. 
The worst oil is likely to be missing the anti-wear protection of the best 
oil. That means plenty of additional engine wear compared to the best oil.  That 
additional wear starts with the first filling of the worst oil. Frequent 
changes won't give you the anti-wear protection that the best oil has. And it also 
won't have the detergent/dispersant which keeps the rings free. So no matter 
how often you change it, the worst oil is going to fdeposit crud arond the 
rings and stick them. Changing the worst oil daily won't flush the crud from the 
stuck rings.

You are conparing additional wear and crudding the engine that starts with 
the first fill of the worst oil to, maybe, some problems at the end of the oil 
life of the best oil. these two events are probably separated by some 50,000 to 
100,000 miles or more.
