Ah,
jargon!
There certainly could be some scheme for sanity-checking. The basic computers don't appear to do that.

Implementing it in the transmitter unit would be more expensive.

Note that the "extra clicks" issue isn't a problem with the magnet and the pickup (
since wired computers don't have this problem).
The whole problem with wireless computers is "other nearby systems" (that is, the problem is interference from other things).
The fancier computers use a coded transmission, which eliminates the confusion.
