If your throttle is out of control, you presume that would trigger an abort. Instead of waiting until you are at max speed in the wrong part of the flight?

- saberdancer 7y agoIt can happen at maximum speed. Before you say that Falcon is not at full throttle when at maximum speed, sure. Let's assume the worst case scenario, Falcon reaches max q and due to a glitch throttles up to full throttle and starts veering off course. This is a worst case scenario probably, and I was surprised that SpaceX did not test this extreme possibility. That's our point. Testing with the assumption that Falcon accepts throttle down command from the Dragon seems like a waste of test scenario.
