That brokeness of 0.2% that you just pulled out of nowhere, is hopefully
a number that will be thoroughly investigated during the trial window.
  Obviously there is a number of brokeness that even Google *will*
accept.  Only the event itself can provide the real world wide number,
since no event of similar scale has been tested.

I hope for open communication of what the measured brokeness is, and
good analysis of why (redpill/vg.no comes to mind as a lower limit).

Cheers,
