I reckon a test would be if it can tell the difference between air-con on
and aircon off.
If it can't tell the difference then it's never gonna' see headlights.

Its tax horsepower, not actual horsepower, 2cv > 2hp

the load does change in response to demand and thats the point , see
bicycle riding .

which means the mechanical force required to maaintain the rotations
speed alters in response ( think bicycle pedals )

now you are being impolite , google machinations and you will

[shrug] It doesn't.
It just displays a number that you either do or don't choose to believe.
