There's where you make an assumption. How do you know engineers decided those numbers, particularly when you consider how many rating numbers are conveniently just under tax or other legal categories? You can also purchase different GVWR stickers on identical hardware.
Also consider that GAWR is listed with specific OEM tire sizes. What do the ratings mean when those are changed? No applicable? The same?
Not even "ratings" are clear cut.
