I'd argue that you are the one missing the point.
These things are already taken into account via population scale statistics. In most cases, it's at best debatable whether more or less screening leads to an overall better outcome across the entire population aggregate. The argument against more screening is that it can (and the claim is it does) lead to overall worse outcomes in aggregate. For any individual case however, the story may be totally different.
What we need are better mechanisms to bin positive results to steer people towards a finer grained course of action. That'd change the math to be more of an overall net benefit.
