Default Myasthenia w/normal SFEMG, neg. antibodies

Hi!
I saw the post by Alice MD in Abby's thread today regarding normal SFEMG and negative antibodies does not necessarily rule out a diagnosis of Myasthenia. Can someone explain this further?

I was told this by one of my previous neurologists, but I don't understand. Most literature I've read indicates that a SFEMG is abnormal in "almost 100%" of patients with ocular myasthenia.
