Can tape over the probe cause erroneous readings?

The reading is at the 40% depth and not the gradient of the hole.

I agree the initial reading is not affected by tape, but what about putting a vapor retarding duct tape over the probe for four months as you track RH? And you know some guys put a nice big area of tape down, 3 strips wide and 3 strips across, so basically a 6" square of vapor retarder over the probe.
