What you say is certainly true if one only worries about DC
noise margin. However, if the offending noise were to be so
impolite as to happen during a series of high speed transitions
such as real data, then it would indeed subtract from the=20
AC levels wouldn't it? Therefore the AC noise margin could be
smaller than the DC noise margin. Seems like both are important.
Different, but both important.
