I've not heard of that, (But then I don't hear very well). False beats are 
usually caused by the string not being seated on the bridge. If you have 
false beats, tap down the strings, and it should eliminate the falsies. I 
don't think raising pitch in one swell foop, or in small increments, is going 
to change that.
