Any constant bound suffices to make error correction work. It's just that the number of extra bits that you need goes up.

Unfortunately this is not at all true for quantum error correction protocols. In the quantum world error correction makes things worse below the error threshold. Source: me doing a PhD on the subject at the moment.
