Claiming that the 'too many false positives' objection is just an excuse for not liking having one's code criticized is itself just an excuse for dismissing a real problem with linters. When writing code from scratch, I am generally eager to use static checking, but when I am flooded with complaints about things I cannot reasonably do anything about, it becomes useless. ...And I wrote 'generally eager', because having a linter raise pedantic concerns over trivial matters is a way to extend this problem across from-scratch code as well.
