Yes, but it has a parallel in the real world.
Looseness = flexibility. When it was on the stiff table, the things could not groove together, they stayed independent. In a flexible environment (the flexing board on rolling cans) they had room to shift and line up into harmony, into resonance, into groove.
Flexibility is the key to music. NOT precision.
Relax and float downstream...

Does this mean that from now on you will insist all members of any band you are about to record to be standing on a flexible board placed on some rolling cans or you're not doing the gig? 
Reminds me of Sting playing bass on a trampoline in the studio. Then again, he only had himself to resonate with...

"T(Z)= (n1+n2*Z^-1+n2*Z^-2)/(1+d1*z^-1+d2*z^-2)" - Mr. Dan Lavry
