I know there's more than one measure of accuracy in medical studies.
I forget the jargon, but there's always a measure of false-negativeness and a measure of false-positiveness. While they do have to admit a false negative, "some afflicted lacked the indicator", they may be able to say, "100% of healthy patients lacked the indicator". Ergo if you ever found it, you just made an inarguable diagnosis.
So maybe a reporter didn't grok the stat.
The false negatives are curious, though - some small percentage of the population has diseased brain tissue but clean fluids, as if their braincar had a great new oil filter.

Gumby's fluid motions only aggravate motion sickness. Stick to sesame street in cars and boats.
Lots of interesting old input devices can be found with goodwill or craigslist. The price isn't bad, either.
