I'm not sure. I find this explanation less likely than what to me at least would seem a simpler and more straightforward one: When you play alone, you THINK you're in time even when you're not. you don't notice the fluctuations because there is no reference point. As soon as you add another player to the mix, things clash because both of them are slightly out of time.
I notice that whenever I play alone, my timing
feels perfect even though I
know it's not. As soon as I add the metronome, the metronome tells me that I'm off, sometimes more, sometimes less.
