With trials per setting and any positive one-sided allowances satisfying , the generic binomial conversion cannot accept , even at zero failures and zero allowances of the calibration and transfer types.

Proof. Fix one task and write its three statistical tail allowances as . Their sum is at most . The convexity of gives

Bernoulli's inequality gives , so . Therefore , whereas generic acceptance at requires inferred infidelity at most . Nonzero failure counts only increase the upper binomial limits.
