Not being a lawyer, I guess I don't really understand the argument, but I can say that most doctors would interpret intensive to mean-- using whatever means necessary to achieve a tougher target. Not necessarily getting there faster, as the standard therepy group wasn't ever expected to get "there". I know they used time to target as an excuse to explain the higher mortality, and to distinguish ACCORD from the other more favorable study.
These studies are marketing studies targeting prescribing doctors. They're not expected to have no flaws. No clinical study is flawless.
