You're still not getting it.

Basicly you're saying that unless your detector detects a signal that is pointed directly at it, you want it to not tell you anything. That's silly because if a cop is sitting around a corner, and hitting traffic in front of you, you're basicly asking the detector to ignore it. And trust me, if the cop is pointing his radar at your car, your done anyway, making the detector useless.

Thinking less false alarms makes it a better detector is a false understanding.

No, I get it fine.

I never stated that at all, but thanks for putting words in my mouth.

Thinking less FALSE alarms is a better detector is true understanding (to a point). Because if truly has less FALSE alarms while still having a good range on REAL threats, then it's a good detector such as the 8500 (which still has plenty of falses from automatic doors, but much less than cheaper detectors).

I don't know if you get it or not. I don't really care. You can buy your beeping box and I'll stick with my 8500 with less FALSE alarms and better range than your beeping box.
