Okay, imagine you're working on the hardware of the engine. Pistons, bolts, lubrication. One Friday afternoon you leave work depressed because the emissions suck, they've sucked for months, and they won't get better without a major redesign.
On Monday morning, the emissions tests are suddenly passing.
"Ha, just one of those things," you say, "I thought we had emissions problems, but I guess we don't after all. Let's ship the engine and have a party!"
There is no way that this happened.
