Not quite that dramatic, but yup. That's why they're being randomly assigned in each test couple... in a sufficiently large sample, the odds of each having the more sensitive pedometer approaches 50%.
Alternatively, I could wear both of them myself, take multiple measures, determine the skew of the more sensitive one and use that factor to normalize the numbers. This however would require additional record keeping to mark which dancer received which pedometer.

It was easier to declare Pluto wasn't a planet.
