Why does nobody talk about the sheer torque loss from a single clogged injector on a 6.7 Powerstroke?

I was reading a technical bulletin from a Ford dealer in Phoenix and it stated a single faulty injector can drop peak torque by over 15% before the engine even throws a code, which explains the sluggish haul I felt on my buddy's F-250 last week.

That Phoenix bulletin sounds like dealer scare talk to sell injector jobs. A 15% torque drop from one bad injector on a six cylinder diesel doesn't add up, the computer can adjust fuel to the other five to make up for it. Your buddy's truck felt sluggish because it was probably loaded heavy or the turbo was spooling slow. These modern engines have so many sensors that a real problem would light up the dash right away.

Dealer scare talk" sounds about right, reminds me of the time I ignored a weird noise until my check engine light came on like a Christmas tree.

My old Honda's check engine light was a liar for years.
