Well, I fiddled a bit. I would say that 50% of sensitivity is
definitely not sensitive enough. OTOH, I would also say that trying to
compensate not enough, or too much of sensitiviti with above 100%, or below
100% of Overall is not a way to go. I would say that the right way to go is
to find the right sensitivity, which doesn't have to be 100%. I'll see, I
have to test more of it.
