Well, thiis question is not so important, but I was just wondering myself...

When two strings of different size are in the same unison, it cause false beats. When you play an octave, you play with two groups of strings with different thickness sounding at the same time, and they sound clean and beatless (if the piano is tuned, of course). Why the different size of string affect in a unison but not in an octave giving false beats?

Just wondering...
