I know the meme format is kinda wrong. It's also kinda right.

I don't think they're talking about frequency hopping, just using a thinner datastream. Smaller packets are less likely to be dropped perhaps?

Yeah, if you transmit less data in total, your odds of having a random problem reduce. But not much, because electromag interference tends to last for relatively long times and you still need to communicate often for minimizing latency.

That is, unless the problem is a saturated channel. If that's the case, your situation may improve much more by sending less data.
