I would at least let the general manager know how inept his service people are, then let it roll down hill from there. No harm done until the rear wheel finds that oil.
Bent rods happen due to hydraulic lock inside the cylinders. Stretched rods happen due to hydraulic lock occurring below the pistons (in the crankcase).
You'll deform the crank pin end of the rod or yank a piston in half before you'll stretch a rod, get into that neighborhood there's some serious RPM going on without a rev limiter and that's usually nanoseconds before Mr. Rod decides it's leaving the crankcase through a new hole.

I get that, and I agree with you. I guess I should have qualified my statement as being theoretical and/or hypothetical. I was merely trying to illustrate the cause/effect relationship between potentially stretching a rod (or as you say, the bore for the wrist pin) and potentially bending a rod.
