I guess until an SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) type standard is set none of these HP ratings will mean anything unless all motors are measured the same way and probably on the same piece of equipment.
Remember the day before RMS (Root Mean Square) 20hz-20khz ratings for stereo wattage ratings? There were ridiculous ratings like 1000 watts peak music power. Actually they measured at about 120 watts RMS.
