Wierd, but interesting. If someone can scientifically figure it out, let us know. Don't bash.

The prevailing theory here, if his results are accurate, is that his MAF is reading low, so while more air is being introduced, the PCM does not know to increase fuel delivery. In the examples you mentioned, those systems are very carefully designed to ensure proper readings, and thus compensate by adding fuel.
