I understand it different way. STANDBY (IMMEDIATE) command puts disk 
into Standby mode regardless the timer setting operation (e.g. all the 
times). Moreover it can modify Standby Time Counter configuration.

If you wish not to put drive into Standby use IDLE (IMMEDIATE) command 
instead.

Such question is rather meaningless ;-)

Most important question is - how the author of particular drive firmware 
has understood it.
