Good question, and to be clear: the RFC doesn't set an 80% cutoff. That number isn't in the draft. It says "mostly" on purpose and lists the exact method and cap as an open question (#8), because we have no empirical failure data to justify a number. The plan is to avoid a hard cutoff: weight edges continuously and calibrate by simulation against two cases, a closed fake cluster (attack) and dense benign clusters like meetups or DAOs. The failure we most want to measure is false positives on real communities. If you know of data or papers on WoT attacks, pointers welcome.
