I think this posit is the result of that study that showed an uptick in wear rates after an oil change, which was believed or indicated to be due to the establishing of new tribofilms on the surfaces. I don't recall how this was measured, whether it was simply via UOA or something more technical.
One thing to keep in mind is that contaminants such as soot, wear particles...etc, if they are too small to be caught by the filter, they will stay in circulation as long as the detergents and dispersants are able to do their job. This stream of contaminants is a significant component of what is being sampled when you get a UOA. If the additive package has been overwhelmed and these contaminants are no longer able to be held in suspension, plating-out and forming deposits, then what you are seeing in the analysis is not representative of what went on in the engine over that OCI. Also, at that point new contaminants aren't even making it to the filter to be captured, as the oil is no longer able to suspend particles and prevent agglomeration, so they may just immediately end up in these deposit accumulations.
This can be evidenced by a significant uptake in "wear rates" when using a lubricant or additive that works at removing these deposits, if you were to take a sample of it and have it tested. Often, there are visual cues to this taking place as well, such as material accumulating in the filter.
As I've noted before, while the ring land area is probably most likely to accrue deposits due to the low flow through the area and worst possible conditions, once the additive package is no longer able to do its job and deposits start forming elsewhere, how do you think the ring pack fairs?
