Looks like Gavin has gone for 75% again.  I cannot understand why such a low threshold is being used.

Incompetence or malice?  Gavin should know better, so flip a coin.

I for one am delighted he's using the optimally bad 75% value.

OrganOfCorti mathed the hell out of the issue until there was no room for doubt.

75% maximizes chances (ie, ensures inevitability) of a premature fork that subsequently orphans the attacking chain.
