The type of problem you are describing would slightly bed a valve or two, not cause all this.

If you say so. Think of it this way. The engine is hot. The valves are even hotter. What does heated metal do? It will get slightly more pliable. (to a small extent) so what happens when it barely touches the piston? It probably bends ever so slightly. Then it slams back on the seat and probably gets tweaked back straight. Do this cycle a bunch if times and see what happens. This is just my theory. Could be right, could be wrong....but it makes sense to me.
