You are confusing what is possible to mod, and what is not.

AI behavior is a combination of hard coded stuff that is a black box to us, some cfg settings that are specifically behavior modifications (time to remain looking before they break off, etc---very few of these), and detections as it informs AI "decision making."

The AI behavior is very much driven by the arbitrary set up of the detection parameters. Sure, the down angle of a sonar might be a fact we could possibly research, or even the connection between surface area and detection probability, but the "sensitivity" setting? It's made up. Many of the setting are for tweaking the AI since thei behaviors are hard coded to react a certain way to certain stimuli. The detection rules define the stimuli. It's our only way to mod the AI behavior.
