"Wrong", as you put it.

But, thank you for pointing out exactly what I just said..

"The knock sensor will adjust engine calibration..." I take it you agree with this logic as its in the picture you hosted.

Now, back to what I said... In order to ADJUST the engine.. it has to DETECT..... *awkwardly long pause*.... KNOCK.

Which means that if the sensor IS adjusting the engine, that KNOCK has already occured. You're not gonna tell me that you think the FIRST knock is a freebie, and all the REST are the damaging ones, are you?

The sensor is not a magic fix. And, fwiw, engine calibration adjustment (via knock sensor) is not a split-second thing.. Changing the logic the car uses is a gradual thing.
