Bearing wear and low RPM high/load operation.

Looking at most manufacturer's BSFC maps, they tend to go from ~1,000rpm and up at little to full load. If they're testing these engines at WOT/1,000rpm, would it be reasonable to assume that those conditions wouldn't induce significantly more bearing wear?
