B737 Start Lever To Idle

Two philosophies for an engine start:

1) Opening quickly.

2) Opening very slowly.


Those who opt for the second say it avoids the sudden shock to the turbine, or something similar, while the others say you need to "break" in with fuel to avoid a hot start... or something like that.

Any views on that?
