Because hes pulling timing only after 10 psi to keep it from knocking? And pulling so much that he feels it negates the increase in boost and ultimately will make LESS power?
Has Seb suggested getting a knock sensing tool to figure out if you're getting REAL knock? The tools from Plex tuning, Tuner Nerd, etc ? Im considering it, because I think my car too was correcting timing more than what my tuner was expecting from my setup. An maybe my tune also has pulled timing compared to other tunes, Im not sure. Update us with the dyno!

I definitely over exaggerated Seb being frustrated, it's more of a joke as to how much effort has gone into trying to get the timing to make sense. Really I'm not sure what's going on with the car yet. I've done close to 20 data logged WOT pulls now, AF/R is good, boost is good, just timing/knock is being seemingly strange. I've used an octane booster (boostane) at a pretty decently high concentration and it made no change with the ignition correction. At first it seemed like maybe the knock sensor was possibly picking up some false positives, but when tested with a low timing map the ignition correction almost entirely went away. Most of the ignition correction that happens is around 5k rpm, before full boost. The knock sensor seems to be the most happy around 9 to 10 degrees of timing.
The reason for the low dyno estimates is because I've actually already had it on a dyno so I know ROUGHLY what it will be making, but for various reasons I'm getting it re-done at a different shop this time. It was a half assed dyno day type of deal where they didn't actually log a complete pull, graph cut off at 6,800rpm.
