That’s fair in the abstract, but seems overblown. In my usage I have yet to see it offer “this is a bug and must be fixed” and be wrong. There’s a certain amount of “I am not sure about this?”, and those are lower quality, though often linked to questionable code readability in the source. I’m sure it does the first category of error, but it seems to be rare.
