Could this PB glitch hurt pitchers development?

First, sorry to ask a new question in an old thread.

I also had this passed ball, primarily in the International League(my average defensive AAA catcher on pace for 500+ passed balls.) At the same time this glitch was happening I promoted 3 top 100 prospect pitchers to AAA, and only one developed at all, ( but he posted an era over 10.00 in the majors). So my question is in an environment where passed balls are more an expectation than an anomaly, leading to pitchers with ERA's well over 6.00 having an ERA+ right around 100, will pitchers development be adversely effected, or was this lack of development just normal since pitchers bust all the time?
