Doing the same thing but faster and cheaper doesn't necessarily mean it's better. If there's a high cost to a procedure, then the user would need to show the value of checking a candidate in some other way for it to be worth the effort. Making it easier and faster means you're more likely to check against random innocent individuals.

Fast, cheap, good. You can only ever choose two.

Often, you are lucky to get one.

Seems like the equivalent of p-hacking to me. Sure they could apply complex queries to narrow down the suspects in a fair way, but I don't trust them to do that.

> you're doing the same task cheaper/faster

Move fast and break lives.
