PR #344 ships pattern-13 (silent data corruption) with default AccuracyDropThreshold=0.005 (0.5pp). Spec asserts "typical SDC regressions land between 0.5pp and 3pp" but provides no citation. Real-world edge cases (single-bit weight flip in small model, transient single-batch corruption in large training) can produce sub-0.5pp regressions that the detector silently skips.
Asks:
- Document in spec + ATTRIBUTES.md when operators should lower threshold below 0.5pp (currently only "raise" guidance exists).
- Add citation or empirical basis for the 0.5pp floor.
- Consider whether default should be lower for high-precision recipes.
