False positives become an increasingly difficult problem the more and more potential authors you introduce. If I had wrote a fancier model it probably wouldn't be as much of a problem but what can you do.

Yes, this wasn't a criticism of the tool. It is crazy good.
But I don't think people should be making the assumption that bolded results are definite alts, which sillysaurus' comment reads like.
Hmm, that wasn’t my intent. I see this tool as a recommendation engine more than a doxxer. By “signal to noise ratio close to infinity,” I meant that if you visit one of the bolded accounts, they’ll probably sound a lot like you.
It’s one of those ideas that makes the tool substantially more effective, yet never would’ve occurred to me. It’s like the simplicity of pg’s “a plan for spam” algorithm: deceptively simple, but (like scrubbing dishes with fingers) works really well.

That is absolutely all this will be used for. This is a dangerous tool that serves no real world purpose.
