In these notes, we comment on the standard indistinguishability criterion often used in the gravitational wave community to set accuracy requirements on waveforms. Revisiting the hypotheses under which it is derived, we propose a correction to it. Moreover, we outline how the approach we proposed in a recent work in the context of tests of general relativity can be used for this same purpose.

The diffraction-lensing interpretation of GW231123 with astrophysical priors
GW231123 is better fit by a lower-mass merger diffracted by an isolated ~1000 M_sun lens, but astrophysical priors and a frequentist rate estimate make this lensing interpretation unlikely.

Systematic biases in parameter estimation on LISA binaries. II. The effect of excluding higher harmonics for spin-aligned, high-mass binaries
Omitting higher-order waveform harmonics can cause severe, spin-dependent parameter biases for massive LISA black-hole binaries, including confident localization in the wrong sky region.

GW230814: investigation of a loud gravitational-wave signal observed with a single detector
GW230814 is a binary black hole merger seen in a single detector, yielding the first confident l=4 mode detection and a ringdown damping anomaly that noise or waveform models can explain.

Inspiral tests of general relativity and waveform geometry
The power of ppE-style GR tests comes from waveform geometry: GR parameter biases absorb most of any smooth phase deviation, and SVD finds the few orthogonal directions that remain.

When vacuum breaks: a self-consistency test for astrophysical environments in extreme mass ratio inspirals
A duration-scan self-consistency test on vacuum EMRI parameter posteriors flags unmodeled environmental effects without adding environmental parameters.

On the use and interpretation of signal-model indistinguishability measures for gravitational-wave astronomy
Using mismatch distances computed at best-fit parameters, per parameter, the paper predicts accurate bias SNRs for aligned-spin binary black hole measurements and derives waveform accuracy requirements for next-genera...
