Unless brake temps hit around 200 degrees - where brake wear is increased! Keep them less than 200 or greater than 300!
I don't know a single pilot who attempts to target brake temps -- or, for that matter, one who KNOWS how to target brake temps on landing roll!

The closest I can come to your theory is the FACT printed in our 744 FHB that with Autobrakes 1 selected, full reverse will cause brake modulation to full release, causing excessive brake wear.

Of course, that doesn't apply to ANY airplane with steel (vs carbon) brakes...
