I think its up to the lifter to try a few different methods and see what works.

Humor me for a second and assume Talo made a successful pull of 495.
Now add 2% of that weight. You get 505, which is what he failed at.
The only thing that matters is the intensity. If you're lifting 96% and 2lbs puts you at 101%, you fail. If you're at 90% and adding 50lbs puts you at 99% you will complete the movement.
If you go back to Talo's original workout, assume 505 is his max (not something less), he performed 1 single at 90%, failed at 100% (could even be 105%, who knows) and then went onto some rack pulls.
Why not go for a single at the assumed 98%?
