The mass testing model was always dumb because the state/emission testing vendors have test results for every car and should be able to predict which model/year

The mass testing model was always dumb because the state/emission testing vendors have test results for every car and should be able to predict which model/years need testing and which don't.
Instead out of "fairness" or greed, they'd require everyone to get every car tested every X years after Y years of age when sampling would make a lot more sense.

The point of periodic testing is to make sure that every instance of a design remains as-designed, and has not failed through damage, insufficient repair, or deliberately. How else would this be discovered?
