fix: a zero-width band fires on equality or not at all, and the text now says which

The earlier correction moved the claim rather than fixing it: four places still
said the float-equality test "never fires on a real-valued signal", and a +/-1
square is a real-valued signal -- a standalone check against a band of [1, 1]
fired 19 times, because `inside` is true at +1 and false at -1, so the signal
changes side on every transition.

All four now state the measured behaviour: an exact float-equality test against
the level, which an ordinary signal never satisfies and a signal sitting at the
level satisfies on every transition. Neither answer is a band, which is the
reason the second spin is clamped an increment away rather than the detector
special-cased -- the same conclusion, now resting on a true premise.
