I'm surprised it doesn't mention hysteresis some fans have at low speed.

Cheap fans often don't have actual proper speed controller on them which means they might start spinning at say 30% PWM but only stop spinning at 15% PWM. That was probably the thing that surprised me most when I upgraded to nice Noctua, at certain PWM it just started, always, and below that it stopped, always.
