Different areas of the soundboard / different tensions on strings might in some cases cause the reverse effect, or contribute enough confusion to make the reading eratic. As I understand Rons interest in the impedance thread, it has to do with whether or not the bridge / panel at any given point is springy or massy in how it deals with the string vibration.
