Well knock retard is exactly that. Why run X timing when the ecu adjusts to Y. There are many times when the knock sensor activity is not justified but it shouldn't be taken lightly.

I know what yourr saying... and obviously you want 0...

Ya without a doubt. BUT like I said sometimes the knock sensor will trigger knock retard when the engine is not in a det event. I have turned off the knock sensor on my evo and made more power than the knock sensor would allow me to but that was using the dyno and the spark plug to tell the story.
