Except that so far the lunatics haven't taken-over the asylum and you are in a 3 to 2 minority, so please don't claim to be speaking for everyone. A false match on a test is a false-positive. It doesn't reverse for a ham test, simply because you're more used to thinking about spam tests. Do you apply the same usage to anything else? For example, do you reverse the meaning of "off" and "on" for air-conditioning to make it consistent with heating, so "on" always mean "make hotter"?
