A lot of people commented on the article with "I or a relative were involuntarily committed and it was necessary" or "there was a lot of suffering because a relative should have been involuntarily committed and wasn't". That's like asking about what standards the police should use to arrest criminals, and answering "I was a victim of a crime because the police refused to arrest someone". It's not false, but it doesn't generalize. False positives and false negatives are both problems. Just ignoring false negatives is terrible because people suffer by not being involuntarily committed, but people suffer by being involuntarily committed too, and you need to balance that out, not just say "I know what was needed for me".
