It was absolutely not meant to come across that way. I just think it wasn't thought all the way through.
> And a poor car vendor definitely can't build at least 10 pre-production cars, run them with both a lightest and heaviest loads and different patterns and calculate the mean and use it instead of the one with the maximum distance with a minimal load, right?
This just sounds like vendor controlled slightly-less-standardised testing, not the real world based system they seemed to be arguing for.
