Action potentials propagate by depolarization of one section of the membrane causing depolarization of an adjacent section.
It is necessary that this depolarization be greater than threshold. If the amplitude of the action potential were to drop below threshold, it would fail to propagate. Additionally, it would be quite slow and inefficient.
Therefore, ...
