It depends if you do stuff that matters or not. If your job is meaningless, then detecting errors with a 35% false positive rate would just be extra work. On the other hand, if the quality of your output matters - 35% seems like an incredibly small price to pay if it also detects real issues.



Lots to unpack here but I'll just say that I think it would probably matter to a lot of people if they were forced to use something that increased their pointless work by 35%, regardless of whether their work mattered to you or not.
