Off-key amd off-tempo are easy to detect, but no one can tell right away if you are storing their data in an unsecured S3 bucket, not even other IT folks.

Y'see, in my experiences, most audiences don't even notice / care about missed beats or notes *as long as the whole band is happy and smiling* and the vibe is good.

And then there's the essential rule of live music: hit a wrong note? Play it three more times and everyone will think you did it on purpose and you will be a jazz legend.

Because, really, there are no wrong notes / beats. I say this as a non-ironic Shaggs fan.
