דלמא דקא מנבח נבוחי
The following objection was raised against this view: 'If the hearer [of the shofar] put his mind to the act but not the performer,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'he who causes to hear'.');"><sup>4</sup></span> or the performer put his mind but not the hearer, he did not perform his religious duty; [he does not do so] until both hearer and performer put their minds to the act'.
Rashi on Rosh Hashanah
Where he sounded bark-like blasts: And he did not blow like the measure of the blast that is explained in our mishnah (Rosh Hashanah 33b) in the last chapter.

Tosafot on Rosh Hashanah
Where he sounded bark-like blasts: [Rashi] explained, it is because, "he did not blow like the measure of the blast that is explained in our mishnah (Rosh Hashanah 33b)." But that is difficult. As, if so, even if he had had intent, he also would not fulfill [his obligation]. So it appears to me, he sounded bark-like blasts, since he did not intend to blow the measure of the blast, but he [nevertheless] blew the measure of the blast. And perhaps this is what [Rashi] means to say. Or also (another answer) is that it is similar to what [Rashi] explained later in the last chapter (Rosh Hashanah 33b) - he was acting unawares, as he [only] blasted the shofar, but it came out for him as a [proper] blow.
