Amsoil actually told me they meet FD standards. I believe them. You can choose not to if you wish.
Dominator will probably pass FD. I find it highly unlikely that Saber would pass.
For starters the smoke test is ran at a 10:1 oil ratio. Saber doesn't burn all that clean in my own testing at 40:1. Why would we expect it to? After all it's formulated to allow an engine to live at 100:1. The things you do from a formulation standpoint to allow this is you add more ZDDP and or you use a higher viscosity ester base oil. There is no magic. This is how it is done. Both of these things ar problematic in a two stroke, but the marketers love harping on 100:1.
I also find it highly unlikely that amsoil has the Jaso test engines. They have ran tests using Echontrimmers and published the results. If they had the Jaso test engines they would likewise publish those results.
 
If you are truly reflecting you would just admit you don't have a good understanding of what happens in a motor and as a result your conclusions are false.
In addition your pride is such that you through around your engineering degree your above approach to the rest of us morons. That's a bad look.
What I do have a good understanding of is scientific testing, fluid flow and the 2nd law of thermo. To use a tired cliche, there is more than 1 way to skin a cat. And for any test objective, there is more than one valid way to do it. I never claimed to be an engine expert. My comments were directed towards specific testing approaches.
