No, I think at worst you waste your time and attention reading reports of benign issues from the invocation of an automated tool that you didn't care to execute. I think this is probably the worst, and median case. Maybe there is a way this could be useful. "I'm a security researcher. I ran this tool on your site which found these vulnerabilities. Here's why I think these vulnerabilities may be meaningful, even if they are first seem not to be" is, I think, a nice contribution and, if you make a change based on those suggestions, that merits some kind of credit. That's not really what is discussed in the article though.
