If we're talking hypothetical here, if a wheel with all 15 gauge spokes were to have one of those spokes replaced with a 14 gauge spoke, and the tech doing the job thought he/she were balancing the tension by bringing that spoke to the same audible pitch as it's neighbors when plucked, the thicker spoke would be way over tensioned compared to the others.
