Completely correct.

it needs to be a differend kind of sensor - very focused and especially sensetive in a specific range. the N900 hardware is designed for the opposite of this.

I've thought about it and whether or not the hardware could detect the range for this application we'll never know; so little point debating it. likely there is some kind of filter in there or else the software does something but god knows. that fact is semantics anyway for my previous reason of accuracy.
