The first example the article uses of the kick and bass is not a subtle imperfection. It's massive, almost a full 16th. That's middle school levels of imperfection. With pro musicians it's obviously a deliberate stylistic choice.

In general, there is a subtle imperfection, but only compared to the mechanical precision of the other track. They're clearly not amateurs.

But yep, for the chorus the offset is definitely deliberate, since it's glaring and repeated every time.

Listening to the lyrics, they're clearly making a heartbeat :)
