Thanks for sharing the story. Just something interesting you might want to read into. False positives can be much higher than 0.5-4% figures, depending on how you look at it. Out of the positive results, about 13% [1] and 25% [2] were false. In [2] 400 out of 1570 positives would be false. I have seen as high as 40% being false in other publications.
