"Fallacy??".  It is a setting adjusted by "tuners" and suspension 
technicians.  Changing toe in settings can dramatically change the 
handling of a vehicle, and can be changed by a "user" who knows what 
they are doing.  "Specialized equipment" can be purchased from good auto 
stores.  Reasons for changing it include different wheel/tyre sizes, 
different load conditions, different driving conditions, adjustment for 
wear n tear.

With this in mind, the are many places where this analogy can be applied 
to Myth, for instance; the number of "virtual tuners", the tuning delay 
for channel changes, even the color and/or size of fonts.
