What you're saying is true, so long as the spliced USB cable isn't plugged into a host. But of course, you wouldn't expect to get any activity on a device when it isn't plugged into a host -- even if you use a normal cable. If the spliced USB cable _is_ plugged into a host then the host will see it, issue a reset, and start sending SOF packets. In that situation your comment doesn't apply.
