Yeah that’s fair, but I feel it depends on what you’re cooking. Generally it’s a good idea to preheat the oven because you’ll get a more consistent cooking temperature. But for some things like shortbread, I often get a better result putting the dough into a cold oven as long as I’m consistent with the time. I’d never put something yeasted like bread into a cold oven tho that would be silly.
