Stillen HFC vs. BERK HFC

I'm beginning to think we're arguing over semantics here. Take this statement, for example:

Okay, to me, that's just another way of saying that the car adapted! Think about it. To paraphrase Jesse, if the car is driven around by slowpoke grandpa Magoo all the time, the engine isn't going to see what it needs and it'll perform like a dog. When grandpa Magoo's hot daughter with a lead foot borrows the car for a week and drives it hard, the computer finally has a chance to see what it needs and conforms (aka adapts) accordingly. Right?

Well what do you think the process of conforming is? It's just another word for adaptation, is it not? If I conform to my environment, isn't that the same thing as adapting to my environment?

I mean, am I crazy? Or are we all actually saying the same thing but just using different words?
