 This uncertainty principle would only apply to uncertain styles of music,
main differences between rythms are about how you interpret them

 If the rythm is played like every step with no accent, no one would make a difference between
11:8 , 4:4,  7:16 ...
 that's why we use some patterns where it's easier to recognize differents
ratios, and those patterns are things that defines the style of the music.
 If we compare both the music of Ministry and the music of a Taraf de Haïdouks
we would have for the same complex bars but different kinds of musics,
 because they use different kinds of patterns. 

 In fact even in a simple 4:4 bar, the need for a variable metronome is quite necessary for orchestras.
Different sections don't play their parts at the same tempo, if you pay attention to it,
technicaly a section would play better if the tempo is slower or higher for different parts,
that's why there is conductor.
