Which CEO? Of the 4 big German manufacturers, which conspired do implement these special cheats, or Bosch which implemented this cheat, and supported it as such?

Or the politicians who wrote into law to able to use such a cheating device?

That would be 5 CEO's plus at least 2 german politicians, plus 20 more politicians in all other countries which selected this cheating EU standard.

Wanting to use velocity profiles to set exhaust treatment parameters during warm up of the engine is totally reasonable.

Bosh's software is tunable to silly extents to avoid expensive vehicle testing as testing is tied to binaries due to bad processes.

You can more or less make a different program by changing 'parameters'.

I really think it might be unfortunate if this would extend into a crusade versus general computing.
