Things like that, yes. It probably takes a certain amount of domain expertise to know exactly what, and how.

But it seems fairly reasonable to guess that certain settings that are normally generalized to work appropriately well across a wide range of crashes can also be optimized for certain cases if you know in advance which cases are being tested for. We see this sort of optimization-to-the-test being possible in most other domains so why not this one as well.

Because then you're doing junk science (and possibly active harm) in all domains in the name of improving economic metrics.
