\subsection*{The $P_{\rm obs}$ Recovery Bias}  Not surprisingly, the devils with the smallest $P_{\rm act}$-values are the most difficult to detect since relatively close (small $b$) encounters are required for $P_{\rm obs} > P_{\rm min}$ and such encounters are more rare. For example, $b = 0$ would be required for a devil with $P_{\rm act} = P_{\rm min}$ to be detected, an encounter geometry with a infinitesimal infinitesimally small  probability.
