Zen claims that proper beat detection is not possible

I thought you guys might find this interesting; Zen Studios[blog.zenstudios.com] is apparently claiming that proper beat detection is not possible, which is the reason why it wasn't even attempted in their game titled KickBeat:

Don't look at Audiosurf or Beat Hazard, look at Stepmania or osu.

Yeah, I had a friend that mentioned those. Just goes to show that indie developers have more skills than some big name companies (AudioSurf in particular was developed by an individual, not a company). I used to have a low opinion about indie developers, but with the release of KickBeat, I can see that I may have been proven wrong in my previous judgement.
