Both take readings after the MAFs and after the SC.

Whether or not the ECU can go into limp mode fast enough is a race between knock sensor sensitvity, the rate at which detonation is happening, and factory tuning.
I understand that they're not linked... you're right, but as I said before it still boils down to the tune and MAF position. You don't need the knock sensors to pull timing if there isn't any type of detonation present. What would have caused the detonation from the get-go? Fuel, tune, too high of cylinder temperatures because of the boost spike maybe.
