That reads like too high a dose of political correctness.
Please KISS !
Proven / unproven may lead some to ask for the (scientific) proof - which isn't always available because not everyone tests their mods in a scientific way.
But IMHO it's not up to EM to scientifically proof every mod that is claimed to work.
Leave that to the academic world - and maybe the car manufacturers - who have the means to do it in a properly controlled environment.
If they could be bothered.
There's a lot of mods and driving behaviours that do work, even if we can't prove them or single them out in the real-world because we simply don't have enough control over the operating environment of our cars to do that - which means only the
big mods can be road-proven scientifically.
However, many of these mods are effectively proven in practice by the fuel logs of those members who are using them - their increases in FE surely didn't happen out of the blue.
I can't quantify nor verify every minor mod or change in driving behaviour, but they've sure been helping my FE !
I'd stick with the terminology.
