Classic Spider-Man: It's nice here in the 70s

I need to calm down a bit, step back from current events and revisit a real problem from the past that still needs to be addressed to this very day. This problem was something that irritated fans of comic books for decades and in the pre-internet days of comic fandom, managed to drive comic book company interns who answer letters and comic book store owners insane as legions of unrelenting nerds desperately and repeatedly begged for an answer that was never satisfactorily resolved.

The question was this:

How come Spider-Man's spider-sense always warned him with sufficient time to avoid a fatal danger...

...But was never early enough to avoid one that would merely knock him unconscious?


The Ferrett expands on it.
