I think you're quite right.

If you're using MS to test your systems, you can include this variable by properly 
adjusting the interest rates on hypothetic account from money market rates to the actual 
return of your trading account.

On the other hand you should take into account that whereas any system testing gives an 
objective output, introducing this variable would change it to a rather "subjective" 
test.
