A rather good discussion on this phenomenon took place somewhat recently. See posts 15 and 22 here: Engine management parameters... - MX-5 Miata Forum
Wow. Good to know.

We could really use a transcript of the important parts of that thread included at the end of our FAQ sticky.

I had a dream last week that I went to Joe Perez's house for guidance with my Miata and when I found him he had a long thin beard and was wearing a robe like some sage or oracle. No lie.
