Yes, I think anyone reasonably knowledgeable about knock sensors (and their limitations) would come to that conclusion.

I would never define features that enhance the margin of safety "redundant". Then again, with thousands of PROcedes on the road, each one of them controlling a $15,000 engine, I kind of have my neck out on the line.
