That could be fixed by using a high voltage discharge device connected
to the saddle to zap the rider whenever a cadence error occurs. Is
this really a problem, and who cares? Why?

Not being able to hear a sound or cadence going out of range? I think
simply mounting the bike computer where it is easily seen is an easy
solution for someone who wants to try to maintain cadence. I typically can
monitor my cadence very easily this way.

Well, it's not a problem for you or me, but apparently it is for the
OP.
