Is a PA of 0.016 normal? It seems to be very low

I ran a pressure advance test in OrcaSlicer with PolySonic PLA Pro because two users recommended that I dry the filament and run a PA test after I got lines across my prints and ringing. However, Past 0.03 the lines disconnect and I found 0.016 to be the optimal. Searching, I found that the optimal PA for PLA is between 0.05 and 1, and my value is 3 times below the lower limit. Is something funny going on here? I will rerun the PA test in a day or so.

My Bambu PLA comes out to 0.018, so 0.016 seems legit to me. That search info seems off.

“Optimal” is whatever your tests using your printer and your filament show it to be.

My six PLA presets vary from 0.014 to 0.04.
