It's clear from experimenting that this table does affect how the throttle reacts to pedal input, but both of the non-obvious labels seem like secondary effects. The position of the throttle butterfly will determine airflow, and that combined with RPM is pretty much going to define load or driving force or whatever. It just seems like one of these axes must be mislabeled for this to be a throttle table.

Maybe this will help explain driving force values
