Comment Re:False Positives Vs False Negatives (Score 1) 89

False Positives cost money and time, but it is fairly easy to double check them as they should be uncommon.

You don't understand the math of false results.

The population of people who actually should have a negative result is far larger than the population of people that should have a positive result.

A small percentage of a large population [the actually negative] results in a significant number of false positives, while a small percentage of a small number of people [the actually positive] results in a very small number.
