No... Ryephile is right.
The TC is locked above 2k RPM (not sure of exact RPM) so for peak torque at high load, the auto programming will be very close. Even for low RPM high efficiency driving, a computer controlled TC clutch will 'lock' the TC so that should be close too. Maybe not exactly the same, but definitely close enough to get a good idea of where the powertrain engineers feel the engine is happiest/safest.
