    Thank you for linking me to that study! Unfortunately google is a piece of shit and they’re calling me a bot and refusing to talk to me even though I’m on a standard residential internet connection. Could you tell me the title/authors so I can look for it elsewhere?

    I’m particularly interested in seeing what the actual false positive rates are beyond a colloquial “1%”. Because 1% is, in the context of accusing academic cheating, absolutely unacceptable dog shit.

    Take a basic example intro class with 350 students, with only two tests per semester. With “only” a 1% false positive rates you will be destroying the lives of more than a dozen innocent kids every school year. And thats only for one class, students are taking many classes per semester.
