David A. Wheeler 30cae86ab0 📖 Warn when checks are prone to false negatives (#1019) ... * Warn when checks are prone to false negatives Automated tools normally have some false negatives, some false positives, or both. However, some scorecard criteria are *especially* prone to false negatives (where a project meets the criterion but the tool says it doesn't). This commit adds warning text about false negatives for criteria that are especially prone to false negatives. In all cases the problem is that there are *many* ways to implement the criterion, so while the tool may detect some cases, there are countless other situations it will fail to detect. While this doesn't *fix* the problem, warning the humans will encourage them to double-check these criteria before making decisions. Sometimes this is the best you can do, and it's better than not having a warning. Signed-off-by: David A. Wheeler <dwheeler@dwheeler.com> * Fix text per pull request feedback Signed-off-by: David A.
