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.
