What if pressure plates didn't function this way? If the off signal from the first triggering didn't occur, because the pressure plate saw the second trigger and said, "Oh wait, let's skip the off at 125 and only send the off at 175," then gear assemblies would get out of sync. The end-state would be water 3/7, gear on (toggled only 3 times). The only other way they could work without desyncing gears is to institute a refractory period such that they also ignored the on signal at 50 (and any on signal, until 125), and some observation of spike traps shows that there is no such 100+ refractory period for pressure plates. Also, were pressure plates to have such refractory periods (if they were to work the way your clarification says most people would expect), then a goblin would never, ever escape from the following: | What if pressure plates didn't function this way?

Yet they do escape, because aimless motion permits them to get the on-off signals on the hatch desynced. You can actually watch them do this. | Yet they do escape, because aimless motion permits them to get the on-off signals on the hatch desynced. You can actually watch them do this. |
