It is human nature to try to game systems. The problem is when those systems are actually in place to produce positive results. Then gaming the system becomes "getting away with it". And every time someone does get away with something, and gets caught, the system has to account for that.

That's how we get stupefying systems like California's emissions requirements.

I just wonder what new idiocy is going to wind up put in place because of VW's cheating the system?



Hey, it's only breathing, right? Not like that's important...
