This is actually the opposite of what I argue elsewhere in the paper, preferring to trade off more false negatives for less false positives. That is, I view wasting effort as better than not wasting effort on something that has a higher chance of killing us. You see none of that line of argument here, though, so I agree that’s a reasonable alternative conclusion to draw outside the context of what I’m trying to optimize for.
