That close would have to be a tiny fraction of an inch,
so close that you're almost touching it. In which case,
I would not call that a false trip because there isn't any
valid reason to be that close to the blade.

Well, unless you actually _did_ touch (and teeth, not just the smooth
blade side), there wasn't an actual required need to trip as there was
not any damage inflicted. That's the definition of a false positive.
