Your example is obviously unrealistic, but even when buying it, it rather supports my position. Imagine a regulator indeed pointing out where you can optimize your algorithms and thus save energy, money and achieve faster query processing. What is the problem with that?

Fire safety regulator: "we're going to need to look closer at that door seal glue component to see if it complies...". Nobody complains here about a regulator looking into details.
