Not arguing, I just always wondered about this, thought maybe someone might know...

The axle counters are programmed to determine if a single unit with 2+ axles is going through the toll by the time elapsed between axles. So a single unit may be a 3 axle truck or MH, or a 5 axle 18 wheeler, or any vehicle with a trailer or toad in tow.
They are also programmed to catch toll runners who tailgate the vehicle in front of them hoping their toll will be an "add-on" (trailer) for the transponder in the vehicle in front of them. It's a tricky timing balance. So tricky, that if you have a transponder in your MH and a transponder in your toad your MH toll will be charged for both the MH and toad axles AND your toad transponder will be charged for the toad axles.
If you have a transponder for both you need to put the toad transponder in an electrostatic bag (faraday cage) so it is not "pinged" as you go through the toll.
