False Beats / Loose pins

[David Love]

Wouldn't be nice if life were that neat?  While loose pins may cause false
beats, there may be mitigating factors that might exist where loose pins
(ones that you can pull out easily as you describe) don't contribute to
false beats.  If A then B does not mean if B then A.

David.

Either they cause false beats...or they dont.  You cant have it both 
ways. The rules of logic state:

 If the statement <<If A then B>> is true, then every time A occurs B 
follows. If B does not follow, then the statement <<If A then B>> simply 
doesnt hold and there must be another reason for B.

While false beats can be caused by loose pins it doesn't necessarily follow
that all loose pins will cause false beats.
