I don't think the Bird ignores that.

Hi Gary,

And none but one does.

I acknowledge that the Bird does not report the actual forward/reverse
power in this example

And this responds to a fabricated question.

Who would approach a Bird and expect it to in the first place? A lid.
This is like complaining that your speedometer doesn't report the
actual speed of the car passing you. Having said that, an entire
thread of correspondence could grow to show adapters and cables
between the two cars "could" contrive to make that happen, and then
the topic drift would blame the erroneous name of speedometer, when it
is only a highway-to-tire traction indicator - HTTTI.

If I were back in the calibration business, this stuff would be like
gold being pushed across the counter.
"It doesn't work when I put it into an out-of-spec system,
could you check the accuracy against a known load?"

I suppose most of the filthy lucre has been absorbed into either Iraq
or FEMA contracts.
