> (or the benchmark optimized cases, like, what Volkswagen did)
This is amazing. Maybe we can turn this into a verb? "I Volkswagened the common cases with precalced buffers".

Incidentally, that word works even better in German, where every verb must end in "-en".
Either way, it’d be expensive for you.
Realistically, not mentioning anyone or anything is the only complete defense. The truth still comes close.
1. Someone uses "volkswagen" as a verb meaning "cheat in benchmarks".
2. Volkswagen takes them to court, on the basis that it is slanderous or libellous to associate Volkswagen with cheating in benchmarks.
3. Counsel for the defence reminds the court that Volkswagen were in the news for a protracted period for a benchmark-rigging that saw them hit with a multi-billion-dollar fine, slashed a third off their stock price, saw their CEO resign, led to there being a "Volkswagen emissions scandal" page on Wikipedia, etc., etc., etc.
4. [THIS IS THE BIT I'D LIKE YOU TO FILL IN FOR ME.]
5. Volkswagen wins the case.
How exactly does step 4 go?
And they’d have a pretty good case with that, considering the original report all this media campaign was based on called out 6 carmakers, but the media (and the poster) only call out Volkswagen.
