Yes.  There are many subtleties to choice of CRC size
and decoder list length.

I've been working on some notes to clarify this complex
issue.   Only half finished but I'll post the link here,
by way of a preview

 http://abelian.org/ebnaut/ops.shtml

The 'optimum list length' will maximise the message
success rate, but you will almost always either get
the correct decode, or a false decode.

If it is important to reduce false decodes, then you
must use a shorter than optimum list and suffer a
loss of success rate.

Ok, that will probably bring it to 5 sigma.
