That’s how I understand it. I think it uses knowledge of the state changes, what they should be like, and selects the most likely one from a table of options. Based on what it knows about the signal, it guessed whether it’s more likely to be a or b.

I use it with ham radio, where the software I use sends signals well under the noise floor (-23db) that can still get across call signs, signal reports, and maybe a thank you. The naked ear would not hear a thing at the low end of received signal.
