But, since the primary concern is "torque greater than demand" what the
redundant software / chips typically do is shut things down when a discrepancy
is detected.


But, again, the action taken is generally to reduce power or shut down the
engine to avoid the #1 worry bead.


This is something new to me. What manufacturer has such a concern, of torque
greater than demand?

I wonder why that is such a concern? I had a truck that had a manual
transmission, and it was not unusual to stall it, while trying to get something
to move, that very much was resisting my desire to move it. g It is a case
of torque greater than demand, isn't it, or is that a case of demand greater
than torque?

So why is this a concern to the chip, or are you talking about something else?

I think I might learn something today, after all! :-)
