It means only that <something> can be observed. There is no canon technical usage. In layman's use, "noticable" often *does* imply that an effect is small, and that one might not see it if not looking specifically for it. Unfortunately, English is a slippery language. Perhaps technical documents should be written in Sumerian. YMMV, George
