I never really understand this argument. People make it about increasing the frequency of blood tests too. Or MRIs. Doctors are afraid of finding "incidentalomas", but why can't we instead just change the way we think about the data?
More data does not inherently mean more scares. If anything, it means that a false positive here and there will be less likely to upend someone's life, because doctors will be more focused on identifying trends, and will be more able to simply ignore outliers.
