Key problem is the precision of the data!
OK - chances are that 2000 micrograms is low enough not to be a problem for that particular flight.
But what about the variation in ash density that the aircraft actually encounters? It might be lower or marginally higher than the magic 2000.
Also there's the question of cumulative exposures and what that does to projected remaining on-wing life.
