Knowing that there is some controversy about storing crankshafts, I asked the machinist to check them both for run-out. He said both were less than .003, and in any event, turning them .010 or more would render even that small amount of no consequence.

Yep, a sample of two cranks proves that the myth has now been put to rest forever. This 'test "makes me so happy to know you do not work for a pharmaceutical company. I can hear it now "yep, we tested those pills on two people and neither one died. We're good to go!"
