I think the reason the timing window is so big is because the bpm detection of the *JIVE POD* is so bad. So by making the detection inaccurate, you can still tap when the beat feels right for you and get some semblance of gameplay. I mean, you may also just tap on the desk or your thigh with your fingers for the same or actually better experience.
