Copying the air/fuel ratio from a completely different engine and assuming that, because it works on that engine, it will work on your car, is exactly the same approach as copying an aerodynamic template.

To put it in a nutshell, it ignores the complex interrelationships and interactions that occur in the real world.

Using rules of thumb is a really crap way of modifying cars, but is unfortunately widely done.
