Not quite. T2 presumably predicts more warbles because it is bigger. If so, encountering some concentration of warbles doesn't distinguish between the two, because they have the same warble-density.

On the other hand, if T2 predicts a billion times the density, then you might use local concentration as evidence, but it could go either way depending on predicted densities.
