You have to look at it all through a lens of plausibility, which is usually only gained from experience(lots of pulls and logging), to make sure you have repeatability everywhere, to optimize any one thing.
Ford seems to do ok with just looking at a MAF signal for a great many things, but only because they have a high degree of accuracy in the rest of their models.
Targeting the highest load at all possible RPMs, will optimize torque and power everywhere, for the given fuel. Keeping load as high as possible after peak torque, will result in the best HP. Again, garbage data in , garbage results out.
