Poor everything from boil kettle into fermenter?

So I did an abstract batch yesterday, my second batch.
I have an 8 gallon kettle, I filled with approx 6.5 gallons water. I had quite an aggressive boil the entire boil and had quite a large evap. loss.
My kettle has a ball valve I use to rack to my carboy. I ended up over a gallon short which I topped off with fresh water.(ended up at the very bottom of anticipated OG)
I could have poured in nearly a gallon more fluid if I poured in all the break muck from the kettle into the fermenter that was below the output hole in the kettle valve.
So was I correct in leaving that stuff behind, our is it common practice to just throw it all in there?

You will get a mix of answers. I used to strain that junk out, but after experimenting, I found that it made no difference in the finished beer so I no longer take the time.

+1 ^^^ this. Here's an Exbeeriment that corroborates that. I personally don't worry about the kettle gunk either and put it all in.

I let desired volume in the fermenter determine what goes in and what doesn't.

Suck up every last drop.It will all settle to the bottom with a cold crash.Then rack off that to bottle/keg

I dump it all in

And 'abstract' batch is a little funny

Yeah, lol. First and....last time I will post a thread on my phone.
Poor instead of pour and abstract haha

Like the others have said, you certainly can pour it all in with no ill effects. But I agree with @andy6026. Let your fermenter space tell you if you need to allow the break material in. If you can fill it with wort only, you are better off leaving break material behind as opposed to leaving wort behind.
