This is gonna need some clarification that those mentioned here are night visions. I was confused when I read that and got the message that geese are blind

| The most important difference is between 1 and 0, which is the difference between a monster attacking or not. Farther away in either direction means other factors like danger or other triggers like being attacked matter less or not at all. |

This is not true. The difference is between 9 and 10, to my knowledge (last I checked monsters with 5 still weren't aggressive). The difference between 0 and 1 might be what affects the warning messages? But I am not sure.
I feel like it's also worth to note that there is pretty much no functional difference between -50 and -99, as I am pretty confident there's not enough triggers to get a monster from -50 to 10
