Default True wheel has slack spoke, doesn't stay true

Should I just accept a bit out of roundness on that part of the wheel

Flat spot. Not uncommon. Sometimes, just running up the tension on
the rest of the spokes and re-truing the wheel will get enough tension
on the flat-spotter to keep it from being a problem. Brass nipples
would probably be a good idea if you're going o try this. How much
tension is on the rest of the spokes, and how did you measure it?
