That might have been me, although I'm sure I'm not the only person to have thought of it.
Being able to downgrade a plane's performance by up to ~20% or uprate it by ~5-10% would shut up most of the "chart wars" and would eliminate many mods which purport to "fix" a particular plane's FM.
More practically, it would model factors such as manufacturing quality, wear and tear, and higher octane fuel.
