Does knockback make creeper explode?

Question

Twice I've attacked a creeper with my sword of sharpness and knockback, and twice whilst still far away from me it's exploded.

Is this coincidence or does the knock back set the creeper off/not reset the distance from Steve?

Answer

I've just tested with a creeper spawner and a sword with knockback. Knockback is not the cause of the explosion.

What I think is happening to you is that the creeper is reaching the creeper event horizon - beyond which it definitely will explode, then you're hitting it. It's ending up miles away - much further away than it would be normally - then exploding.
