this is more ambiguous than you realize: >This test probably helps you improve your false positive rate (accidentally identifying a safe plant as poison ivy) do you mean I will a priori spot a bunch of false positives but then learn to eliminate them, improving my false positive rating but possibly exposing myself to more actual poison ivy? or do you mean that my tendency to generate false positives will go up but I will be thus safer? I'm writing because I imagine you mean the former, but what happened in my case is the latter. I consider myself very very good at avoiding poison ivy, but this test was showing me varieties that I've never encountered before (the ones with leaves that have a shape with some concavities)
