Sure. I can certainly believe that. However, the topic here has drifted to proving whether or not the car was tuned. With an ECU flash, there's a cryptographically-backed chain of events that is virtually tamper-proof. With a piggy--not all of which even require OBD II to be in the picture--there's evidence of passive data logging.
