Stupid KS questions...

Stupid KS questions...
Well I got the infamous 0304... I have been getting less than normal gas mileage for a few months now and thought it was my AC but lately I haven't been running it and the Mileage only got a little better... so I checked for codes... and sure enough
I also had a realization... around the same time I remember my gas mileage started going to hell, I hit a really bad Pothole... I mean it was like running over a piece of railroad track, almost crapped myself... I thought for sure I had cracked the rim or bent something... but luckily I didn't... However, is it possible that this broke the KS?
And so I have these stupid Questions:
1. Is it possible that any kind of abnormal vibrations could trigger the knock sensor to retard the timing. Ex. Severly Bumpy roads (one which I travel every day to school), Really Bad potholes, etc?
2. Could Hitting a really bad Pothole (I mean REALLY Bad ... f***ing houston...)
break the knock sensor?

I agree Nmex. Parts are bound to go bad after a while, I know we'd like for them to last forever or figure out a way for them to last longer but they just go sometimes. Its all apart of car ownership . . .maintiance/repair.
