When someone played a wrong note by accident, you can hear that.  It
does with how it was played.

I was the one said that on this list :-)
Wrong note is a wrong note, that doesn't mean bad, y'know.  If someone
hit the bad note without showing his/her intention of reharmonization or
phrasing or whatever, you can hear that.  I just witnessed a kid who has
no idea what he is playing on his tenor but knows tons of Coltrane
licks.  He sounded he even doesn't know the key of this standard tune
but who cares.  He was grooving a hell.  I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
