Vader has influenced Raz's response criterion, which is the standard that he uses to decide whether to respond to a sensory stimulus or not. Raz is now more likely to respond to a false alarm (detecting a ship that is not there) rather than miss a target, because the consequence of missing a target is so severe (being thrown into space).
