Sorry to inform.. a wrong test can cost someone or worse many lives. It was a rhetorical question because no one I had ever met, until today, wanted the wrong answer.. as long as it was the wrong answer now.
Well. Maybe you didn’t understand my perspective.
I’m all for full disclosure of accuracy and probabilities. False postives, false negatives, WHAT IT IS you are actually testing for and if it is a proxy for what you are looking for, etc.
If there’s a reasonable basis for using a proxy, I’m OK with that, but I’d like to know the basis.
Am I still so wrong?
