Hi

The effect applies to a lot more than metronomes. 

Where things lock up depends a lot on the level of coupling. In some cases they arrive at a compromise. In others they "decide" to lock at one or the other side of the average. The decision in that case is fractal, so predicting which side they will go to isn't very easy.
