The fifth ladder, the first with a minimum pulse, moved the floor down a full rung: only 5 percent failed to mark, and 5 percent now strikes. The trace carries eight current segments where the run before it had seven, with fire beginning at 6.2 s exactly at rung 1 and the usual flat saturated final segment anchoring the count from the other end. That retracts what the previous entry concluded. Pulse length is not irrelevant: 10 percent moved from no mark at F100, with three times the dose per millimeter, to a mark at F300 at the same density, the only change being its pulses growing from 36-71 us stubs to 106 us. The matched-pairs argument was sound but drawn entirely from comparisons at or above 20 percent density, where every pulse length in play was already long enough - it generalized from the one regime where pulse length does not bite. Above ~100 us dose governs; below it pulse length does; below ~36 us the supply does not strike. The factory's 100 us quantum sits on that boundary. dladder now reads laser_pulse_min_ticks and prints what is actually emitted. Without that its table reports the pulse density alone would give, which is wrong wherever the minimum applies - at min 6 the bottom four rungs all emit 213 us and vary their rate instead, and the operator reads that table to interpret the material.
