I always thought that the concept behind non-C2 secure mode was that errors were not repeatable, something that my testing has unfortunately proven to not be true in all cases, that is, I have shown repeatable error patterns are possible. Nevertheless, if you are relying on non repeatable errors, then interpolation would not effect it that much.
True, EAC would not be able to detect that a specific errored sample had different bit errors on different reads but it would still be able to detect that there were differences based on which samples were interpolated in one read but not the next.
The Ricoh interpolates errors yet it is quite capable of detecting errors in non C2 secure mode. When I compare rips that are different using EAC, I am usually able to tell which waveform is the more accurate by zooming in on the leading edge of the differences. Almost invariably, one of the waveforms shows a linear interpolation in the first sample.
As for muting, I would suspect that damage severe enough to cause muting would have been detected by EAC well before muting due to the massive error rate in surrounding samples.
