195 is also pretty close to the 200 that it is rated at.
Can't just take all the low numbers and do the math and leave all the high ones out. There are also plenty of stock dynos in the 170 to 178 range.
Dynos are notoriously inaccurate in the first place and then everybody likes to play with the numbers that make their theory work so the low ones get put out more often.
Everybody can dispute the numbers all they want but the fact remains that they are the official results from following the required standards. Just because some don't believe them does not make them false or "cheating".
