Totally agree. We have a term for it "Dev confidence". Devs really don't want to touch something that's been working for a long time, especially in a codebase they're not familiar with. The more removed the dev from the code they're working on + the length it's been running, the lower their confidence. We built in mechanisms to do a number of checks on our fixes to try to our best ability to make sure something doesn't break.

On false positives, we introduced false positive detection using AI & static analysis because of the exact issue you're highlighting.
