Fair enough, but I think his point was, and the fact of the matter is, if there was a tune-related problem, it would have shown up LONG before 40k via a CEL.Even though it's run for 40K miles doesn't mean it's going to run for another 200K.
The problem with this topic is that most people don't understand the programming strategy, or adaptive capabilities of the PCM. Fuel trims are monitored upon startup so, even if there IS a fuel-related problem, it is immediately seen and adjusted for by the PCM. It is literally impossible, (again given properly functioning & matched components), to overfuel a cylinder to the point of engine damage once the car is running. Underfueling that is bad enough to cause engine damage WILL throw lean codes and initiate the fail-safe fueling strategy.
