Yes, who didnt get to see the bouncing needles until release.

which suggests that the bouncing needles were accurate

No it doesn't. The bouncing needles were a coders "interpretation" or his idea of what it should look like and was not referred to subject matter experts before release. If it had been we wouldn't be having this discussion.

(they didn't code it for a laugh did they).

Not worthy of a response.
Real world pilots knowledge means nothing in this matter if the later spits didn´t have the same RPM gauge as the mk1. I don´t kno if this is the case, I am not such an expert, but it should be examined.
