Also isn't warming the block possibly a way of cooking your engine oil?"

When I read that, I read "cooking your vegetable oil" instead of "engine oil". Was thinking it was some roundabout idea in somebody's head for preheating veggie oil to burn it.

Sorry. My fault. We talk about "cooking oil" on here all the time in the vegetable context and it had never even crossed my mind that a block heater might cook engine oil, so I wasn't thinking about it.
