Thomas' response was "no ack after L2 retransmissions"; this is an assumption about behavior. How many retransmissions? What was the time spacing? It's not hard to configure 802.11, for example, such that L2 back off has only a tiny chance of successful delivery in the case of a hidden terminal. Most wireless protocol implementations today understand these issues and rely on much longer time frames to consider a link "down."
