Failure at >5*
If the measurement precision is +/- 5*, the failure point has to be set at some point higher than that.
Setting it at >5* is actually the MOST conservative approach. He would have been blasted had he chosen a number far above the precision of the measurement. That is, this will identify the MOST number of "failures."
Now he can go on and table the extent of failure (how far above 5) and possibly asked why he didn't do it if he doesn't. But he should not be understood to be claiming "6* is a failure" per se. I believe that is an incorrect interpretation of the approach.
