Perfect heartbeat-counting score does not establish heartbeat detection

Two strategies can generate the same observations: a person detects every beat, or a person estimates the count from an expected heart rate and the interval. Whenever the estimate equals the actual count, both produce C=N and score 1. The score alone therefore lacks identifiability for the latent detection strategy. This logical counterexample does not say that all high-scoring participants use estimation.
