The error rate could be higher, which I mentioned already, but who knows how much higher. I don’t see how speculating about the error rate helps anything. Did you mean to say the error rate is usually much lower than 11%?

This was precisely why I chose the FIT test example. There is, in fact, a more reliable test than the FIT test. Several, it turns out. Reliability isn’t the reason for the FIT test’s popularity.
