I believe you're correct Clay. I think our ears/brain can integrate the
overall signal, and the noise, if more or less random, will recede into
the background. The desired CW signal will then stand out. I suspect
that, were you to key noise similar to the background noise and that
filled the receive BW, it would disappear for a listener as soon as it's
mean amplitude fell to the background level.
This may also explain why, the more you talk, the less your teenager hears.

Let me posit a SWAG on why this case APPEARS to buck the math in reality....
I submit that all "noise" is not equal. I'm guessing that you can hear
a radio transmission mathematically below the apparent noise level
because it is "atypical" or "organized noise" as opposed to the "noise"
in the S2 noise floor which is "disorganized".
Obviously, there are much more correct and scientific ways of
illustrating this, but it would be a LOT longer winded. :)
