In a slick protest and righteous reminder that Volkswagen has yet to leave behind its Dieselgate emissions cheating scandal, British activist and comedian Simon Brodkin sabotaged a VW presentation at the Geneva Motor Show Tuesday. As marketing chief Juergen Stackmann sang the praises of their new electrically powered Up! models, Brodkin ambled [1] onto the stage in VW-branded overalls, wielding a wrench and prop [labeled] "cheat box", and began climbing under the car to "fix it". "It's okay, I have the new cheat box", he calmly explained to the bewildered Stackmann. "No one's going to find out about this one."
[...] As Stackmann tried to haul him out from under the car--"It doesn't need a repair, it's a perfect car"--Brodkin referenced VW's [lying, disgraced] CEO with, "Mr. Müller says it's okay as long as no one finds out."

Yeh... run rich, you emit lots of unburned fuel... hydrocarbons... CO. - but hardly no NOx, You don't have enough oxygen around to make any.
Run lean, you emit lots of NOx - but hardly any unburned hydrocarbons, you have so much oxygen around that any hydrocarbon around gets hitched.
But run in the "sweet spot", you emit BOTH!
