Right, here is where we are getting our wires crossed, I think.

At the time of the ban, I asked a HO member specifically about running the kind of tests you are talking about, ones that do not include the league file. I was told this was not legal.

The entire OP is based on this belief - that playing around with the engine to find things out constitutes sim testing and as such is a bannable offence.
