No... you'll only get an average pressure. The very brief pressure
peaks are only an indication of the real problem.

The big danger with knock is the "stripping" of the insulating
boundary layer of gases from the surfaces of the combustion chamber
by the resonating gas flow. This exposes the surfaces to extreme
temperatures resulting in rapid erosion.
