Your correct Meffy!
While it’s true that you'll get false readings, the error is to the side of caution.
When there’s power on adjacent conductors you’ll only get an indication of power on the conductors you’re testing, but never an indication of no power.
Unless of course the non-contact EMF sniffer is faulty, but then that could also happen with the contact variety!
So the lesson here is to always properly maintain, test and calibrate your test equipment.
