yeah, but "carbs **are** more tuneable than fuel injection",
hence the necessity for this list -- when's the last time you
say a list dedicated to carbs ??  not that they aren't
plentiful, esp amongst enthusiasts, just that they are
"more _easily_ tuneable".  If I could take the little
'cap' off my efi and tune it, I would, but I have a SD
system that requires lots of electronics and programming
skills to decipher and lots of expensive electronic
equipment to 'tune'.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all -- just taking the
devil's advocate position.
