Okay, thanks for clarifying. This makes more sense now.
The case we're thinking of is something like this: (Imagine A+D = 14px, but the author doesn't know this, because authors don't know the exact metrics of the fonts they use)
- The author writes `span { line-height: 13px }` which has an effect, because 13px is less than A+D, so the line-height of their span is tightened up
- The author wants to loosen up the line-height of the span, so they modify it to say `span { line-height: 14px }` which has an apparent effect, because 14px is exactly equal to A+D
- The author wants to loosen it up even more, so they modify it to say `span { line-height: 15px }` which does _not_ have an effect, because positive leading is treated as 0
- The author is super confused now, why `13px` and `14px` work, but `15px` doesn't seem to work
