In the paper “Immunity by Design: An Artificial Immune System,” detection of foreign material is simulated by partial string matching using the r-contiguous bits rule. This rule states that two strings match iff they have the same symbols in at least r contiguous bit positions. The value of r determines how specific the detectors are. The authors of the paper mention a tradeoff that using this rule presents. What is this tradeoff?
