I'm not sure whether this way lies madness or whether the madness is the starting point.
In a world not corrupted by daily fake news and gratuitous displays of violence and human suffering and animal suffering for the sake of increased profits, the concept of performing some sleight of hand to fool bureaucrats into believing they are buying a "standard" where they are in fact facilitating and promoting lies and deceit, such concept would be revealed for the corrupting norm it is engendering. I certainly would not choose to follow the path suggested here in all earnestness. Lucio.
