Sorry, I meant to say that with only 6.8% of all tests triggering a false alarm (and 0% true alarm), a test operator still found a way to prevent the alarm from occurring rather than being kept on their toes.

Yeah, but again, the problem isn't the high false positive rate.
The problem is that given any positive at all, the chance it points to a problem is still virtually zero.
If it was 6.8% of all tests as false positives and 2% true positives, probably people wouldn't have silenced the alarm.
If it goes off 8 times a day and 2 of them are true positives, then people have recent memories of having to fix problems pointed by the alarm.
