Just who invented this imaginary term "Pre-Detonation"? There's "pre-ignition" which is a flame front that begins somewhere other than at the tip of the spark plug, and "detonation" which is uncontrolled, possibly explosive burning of the fuel/air mixture. How did those terms get combined? In over 60 years of tinkering with engines and spending decades teaching the mechanical trade, I've never heard that one before!
