    I'd heard that vanguard banned everyone with a vulnerable driver installed (in valorant) that was known to be exploited, which could means false positives. In the article they simply mention blocking systems with vulnerable drivers which seems tamer. Otherwise, I haven't heard much about players getting false positive-ed by vanguard, but I've personally experienced a false positive with blizzard's opaque system when playing Overwatch 2. I suffered through 8 denied appeals (strongly worded and gaslighting responses) over the course of a month before It was finally overturned with a canned it "was an error" message. I agree that any stats offered about an anti-cheat's effectiveness ring hollow, and my own experience makes wonder how many people gave up appealing and just became a stat in a blizzard pr post.
