The lamp was not aimed based on the light pattern, the graph shows that clear enough.
The light source was out of place; its height should have been adjusted.
The pattern was distorted because the light source was in the wrong place.
It would not have been distorted if it was aligned properly (assuming the alignment is done by readjusting the lamp relative to the light housing, rather than rotating the light housing as a whole).
I get the feeling the only aim of that test was to put HIDs in a bad light.
