However, it doesn't mean that it's impossible to lug the motor. How about when it's fully loaded going up a hill in 6th gear? I would think there's plenty of potential to lug in those circumstances. There are limits to what the ECU knows and can account for.

Check out the other bullet points from post #108. Then consider they work together to form a multi-dimensional strategy. Of course there are limits. Those limits are beyond this threads' topic however. That's a major point.
How does "fully loaded going up a hill in 6th gear" differ from WOT in 1st gear in terms of observed engine load? Of course it's a rhetorical question; it doesn't. You still need to mentally separate vehicle acceleration rate from engine load.
