Take the increasing event that a finite square torus graph contains some long horizontal or vertical rectangle crossing. Translations and a quarter turn make this a transitive increasing event on its bonds. A positive critical crossing bound and the Friedgut-Kalai sharp threshold theorem make its supercritical probability tend to one. A bounded family of shorter, thicker rectangles intercepts every possible long crossing. The square-root trick for positively associated events transfers the high probability to each fixed intercepting rectangle. Using every possible translate would lose the useful bounded exponent.
