small != negligible. <grin>
The word "noticable" does not imply any particular magnitude of event.
It means only that <something> can be observed.
There is no canon technical usage. In layman's use, "noticable" often
*does* imply that an effect is small, and that one might not see it if
not looking specifically for it.
Unfortunately, English is a slippery language. Perhaps technical
documents should be written in Sumerian.
YMMV,
