No. I do not believe that Bob's post refers to audibility. Bob is referring to the fact that the (not so) SMART instrument is expecting three pulses with specific polarity in a certain order and a certain timing. This (not so) SMART instrument is utterly and totaly overwhelmed by the complexity of a musical signal so it gives a random reading. 50/50 for each polarity.

This 50/50 reading in no ways indicates anything but misuses of an instrument.
