There is hurting the engine, and there is HURTING the engine. On the Boeing flight line, the engines are brand new and the focus is minimizing any deterioration before we hand over to the customer. 5 minutes is pretty good for that. Making sure the engine doesn't surge or do something similarly unpleasant is different and is more engine dependent.
