rather sensibly manages the engine performance and emissions in a manner most befitting the task at hand

There is a world of difference between optimizing for the car not moving and programming a detection routine which recognizes which test is being run and setting the engine MAP explicitly to a set of values which are used only in a test. The former is a valid optimization. The latter is fraud.
By the way, the combination of your opinion and the industry you work in (as noted in your other post) is not surprising. At least for me.
