I think the error message from an incorrect param is more in line with the kernel documentation. The ? also has issues with other classes and it seems like some stressors are listed under multiple classes of tests.

After reading through the kernel documentation more, I've realized I've misunderstood the term stressor vs cpu-method. Closing non-issue
