Your scenario is only valid in an engine that uses very light oil and

re-start without damage.

I'm helping a neighbor rebuild the gasoline engine in his old Sears
tractor. The engine hasn't been started in more than a year. When we
took it apart, there still was an oil film on every part there should
have been.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
