I rarely have time for anything prior to a round in terms of practice except for maybe a few putts, a little stretching and swinging a weighed club. However, it really doens't seem to affect my score for the insuing round that much. Guess I have been lucky so far. This is one area I am not so diligent in.

Here is a phrase that I have used on all of my sites and in dozens of golf fitness articles, "Prepare Your Body To Perform". I should trademark this as I am the original owner of this phrase:)!

Wait until I get back into form. Savor it now. You’ve been spoiled because I’ve been hurt for so long. Wait until I get back into form. Savor it now.

Some people have the ability to just show up and play a great round and beat the pants off his enemy\friend. You use up all your strokes needed for the course. I think warming up is over-rated.

When working out in a gym, it's good practice to stretch before and after the session. Golf is no different. I have to agree with your point about giving myself an out, as well. That's a problem I struggle with in life, even outside of golf. Generally speaking, when I give myself an out from something I might not want to do, then I take it. I've always recognized the benefits of pre-round warmup (enough to encourage everyone to do it). Now I need to make sure I do it myself, 100% of the time. I'm going to plan on a 30 minute (minimum) warmup routine for every round. Ten minutes of putting, ten minutes of stretching, and ten minutes on the range.

I would suspect that some visualization and mental imagery would be a nice part of the warm up routine. Also here is a nice warm-up article:

I wonder if there have been studies to show how much this might affect your score? It is probably a reasonable routine to decide that you will never start a round without at least 15 minutes of prior warm-up. If you give your self an out, you will probably take it most times.
