[This paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.06729) argued that if $\\delta\\kappa > 20$, then BBH template banks might miss them. We need to revisit this with more realistic settings such as IMR waveforms and low spin events etc. [This paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.06729) argued that if $\\delta\\kappa > 20$, then BBH template banks might miss them.

Knowing the edges of the parameter space of detectable binaries is extremely important in the inference of kappa. Right now we use a wide parameter space that spans to regions that will not have detectable SNR. This will add unwanted Occam's penalty into the Bayes factors, eventually leading to the BBH fraction estimates.
