In theory, the KS system can detect pink thats not even audible to the
human or, subhuman ear. Pick your poison. If said head was clattering
even alittle, it could trick the KS into thinking it was in a detonation
situation. Odd that all the regular clatter doesnt effect the KS but a
little light pinging will set it off into action. 

Ah well, doesnt really matter, even for this conversation.
