Bill, the tighter the threshold the wider the noise margin. When in the low
state, this allows you to have ground bounce up to 1.2v and still in the
low state (TTL guarantees up to 0.8V only). When in the high state, this
allows you to have a dip or a valley down to 1.6 and still in the high
state (TTL guarantees down to 2V only).

I hope this clears it up.
