<li><b>False positives.</b> Static analysis is not perfect. It can falsely flag
bugs in a program where the code behaves correctly. Because some code checks
require more analysis precision than others, the frequency of false positives
can vary widely between different checks. Our eventual goal is to have the
analyzer have a low false positive rate for most code on all checks.</li>
