I am not sure I understand you, but whenever anyone says anything in automotive engineering like 'it's from first principles' as a justification, I worry. To me, it's a bit like saying I am doing engine management tuning from first principles - stoichiometric, flame front speed and Ohms Law. It doesn't take you far in the real world of practical tuning!
