false-positives

A parent with long hair and round glasses sits in a red armchair reading a purple book aloud to a small blonde child nestled beside them. The parent reads: "And so, the little boy was eaten by wild dogs due to an error pertaining to excessive false positives." A caption below reads: "Statisticians have a different version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf." The joke recasts the fable's moral in the language of statistical error (false positives). Votey: an extreme close-up of the parent's deadpan, flat-eyed face saying, "He deserved worse."
